Title: TCP/IP
Illustrated, Volume 1: The protocols
Author: W. Richard Stevens
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co
ISBN: 0201633469
Release Date: January, 1994
Excellent base TCP/IP reference book. Perhaps a bit dated as released in 1994 (E.g. Little coverage of DHCP), Focuses on TCP/IP systems (in particular UNIX) therefore not really a book on routing protocols (2 chapters). However very comprehensive in the areas it does cover (E.g. 8 chapters on TCP alone.)
Volumes 2 and 3 are also good but cover TCP/IP from a programmer's viewpoint. |

TCP/IP
Author: Jeff Doyle
Publisher: Cisco Press
ISBN: 1578700418

Title: OSPF
anatomy of an Internet routing protocol
Author: John T. Moy
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Pub Co
ASIN: 0201634724
Release Date: January, 1998
Advanced level book by the guy who wrote the RFC. Not a book to learn OSPF from but a book that helps clarify reasons for the way OSPF works in particular circumstances. We didn't like the book too much at first but then we found one or two sentences that justified the cost of the book and it got better every time we read the book again. |
