• Explore the functions, attributes, and applications of BGP-4, the de facto interdomain routing protocol, through practical scenarios and configuration examples
• Learn the contemporary Internet structure and understand how to evaluate a service provider in dealing with routing and connectivity issues
• Master the addressing techniques--including Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)--that are demanded today to facilitate the Internet's rapid and continuing growth
• Develop optimal routing policies--redundancy, traffic balancing, symmetry, and stability--for your network
• Learn how to seamlessly integrate your intradomain and interdomain routing and manage large and growing autonomous systems

Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition explores the ins and outs of interdomain routing network designs with emphasis on BGP-4 (Border Gateway Protocol Version 4)--the de facto interdomain routing protocol.

Using a practical, xample-oriented approach, this comprehensive resource provides you with real solutions for ISP connectivity issues. You will learn how to integrate your network on the global Internet and discover how to build large-scale autonomous systems. You will also learn to control expansion of interior routing protocols using BGP-4, design sound and stable networks, configure the required policies using Cisco IOS Software, and explore routing practices and rules on the Internet.

Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition is your complete resource for Internet routing solutions and scenarios.

MUST HAVE
Internet Routing Architectures is considered the BGP4 handbook and rightfully so. I found the overall composition easy to read. Even though the book is aimed at varying levels of expertise, it does not assume any level of knowledge in TCP/IP or routing. It explains all the concepts, from the simplest one right up to the most demanding, in a fluent way. The book works hard not to withhold protocol details and design-oriented information, while at the same time realizing that building general understanding comes first. An in depth look at BGP is supplied here from the theory aspect, if you need actual configurations and commands I suggest also:

Cisco BGP-4 Command and Configuration Handbook : CCIE Professional Development

Overall Internet Routing Architectures is a MUST HAVE Cisco press book.

Excellent guide to BGP - look no further
This book represents the best work on BGP that I've read. The authors have an intimate grasp of the subject matter AND the rare ability to communicate that knowledge.

Unfold the mysteries of BGP
Excellent book for beginners of BGP. If you are fairly new to BGP, this book takes you to an expert level quite easily.

A must for the CCIE candidate - applying the policy thinking to BGP (which is what it's all about at the end of the day) is used throughout the book.

The book doesn't hit actual configurations till the last two chapters - so if you're in a hurry just read these two.
