Network Routing Basics

A fresh look at routing and routing protocols in today's networks. A primer on the subject, but with thorough, robust coverage of an array of routing topics Written by a network/routing instructor who could never find quite the right book for his students -so he wrote his own Coverage of all routing protocols. In-depth coverage of interior routing protocols, with extensive treatment of OSPF. Includes overview of BGP as well Not written as a "pass the test" guide. Rather, a close look at real world routing with many examples, making it an excellent choice for preparing for a variety of certification exams Many extras including a networking primer, TCPIP coverage with thorough explanations of subnetting / VLSMs / CIDR addressing, route summarization, discontiguous networks, longest match principal, and more.

Network routing can be broadly categorized into Internet routing, PSTN routing, and telecommunication transport network routing. This book systematically considers these routing paradigms, as well as their interoperability. The authors discuss how algorithms, protocols, analysis, and operational deployment impact these approaches. A unique feature of the book is consideration of both macro-state and micro-state in routing; that is, how routing is accomplished at the level of networks and how routers or switches are designed to enable efficient routing. In reading this book, one will learn about 1) the evolution of network routing, 2) the role of IP and E.164 addressing in routing, 3) the impact on router and switching architectures and their design, 4) deployment of network routing protocols, 5) the role of traffic engineering in routing, and 6) lessons learned from implementation and operational experience. This book explores the strengths and weaknesses that should be considered during deployment of future routing schemes as well as actual implementation of these schemes. It allows the reader to understand how different routing strategies work and are employed and the connection between them. This is accomplished in part by the authors' use of numerous real-world examples to bring the material alive. Bridges the gap between theory and practice in network routing, including the fine points of implementation and operational experience Routing in a multitude of technologies discussed in practical detail, including, IP/MPLS, PSTN, and optical networking Routing protocols such as OSPF, IS-IS, BGP presented in detail A detailed coverage of various router and switch architectures A comprehensive discussion about algorithms on IP-lookup and packet classification Accessible to a wide audience due to its vendor-neutral approach

The only authorized Labs and Study Guide for the Cisco Networking Academy Program, Routers and Routing Basics CCNA 2 Labs and Study Guide supplements version 3.1.1 of the Cisco Networking Academy[registered] Program CCNA[registered] 2 course. This Guide maximizes your understanding of: configuring a router; managing Cisco IOS[registered] Software; selecting a routing protocol; verifying and troubleshooting a network; and implementing basic security with access control lists. Each chapter contains a Study Guide section and a Lab Exercises section. Keep all your completed work on hand in this book to study from later, or take advantage of the perforated pages to tear out and hand in specific material for homework assignments. Over 200 exercises in this book help you learn the concepts and configurations crucial to your success as a CCNA exam candidate. Each chapter is slightly different and includes some or all the following types of exercises: vocabulary matching and completion; skill building activities and scenarios; configuration scenarios; concept questions; journal entries; and internet research. you review all the commands covered in the chapter. The book includes all 55 labs from the online course with an additional 15 labs in which you can apply your knowledge about the technologies and concepts introduced. You will get ample opportunity for hands-on practice in three different types of labs: Curriculum Labs are step-by-step exercises designed to introduce you to new concepts. Presenting you with detailed instructions and sometimes additional explanations for completing the lab, Curriculum Labs come directly from the CCNA 2 online course; Comprehensive Labs combine the concepts learned from the course and Curriculum Labs into new experiments. These Exercises provide minimal guidance. You are encouraged to complete the Curriculum Labs before moving on to a Comprehensive Lab; and Challenge Labs are unique labs requiring a thorough understanding of the previously learned network concepts. You should complete all Curriculum Labs and Comprehensive Labs before attempting a Challenge Lab. Additionally, the appendix includes a CCNA 2 Skills-Based Assessment practice lab. be well prepared to continue your networking education in the CCNA courses that follow. Use this book with Routers and Routing Basics CCNA 2 Companion Guide (ISBN: 1-58713-166-8).

CD-ROM includes additional topics of interest, interactive media activities and Packet Tracer v3.2.

This bestselling book serves as the go-to study guide for Juniper Networks enterprise routing certification exams. The second edition has been updated with all the services available to the Junos administrator, including the new set of flow-based security services as well as design guidelines incorporating new services and features of MX, SRX, and EX network devices.

This prep guide provides an introduction to the basics of networking, covers every CCNA exam objective with classroom-tested materials, and walks readers through setting up small routed networks with connections to the Internet. Real-world lab exercises and sample exam questions are located at the end of every chapter. The CD-ROM has freeware for monitoring Cisco routers.

Network Routing: Fundamentals, Applications and Emerging Technologies serves as single point of reference for both advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying network routing, covering both the fundamental and more moderately advanced concepts of routing in traditional data networks such as the Internet, and emerging routing concepts currently being researched and developed, such as cellular networks, wireless ad hoc networks, sensor networks, and low power networks.

Explores the functions, attributes, and applications of BGP-4 (Border Gateway Protocol Version 4), the de facto interdomain routing protocol, through practical scenarios and configuration examples.
