The Complete IS-IS Routing Protocol

OSPF gives an introduction to the Internet and its routing protocols covering unicast and multicast routing protocols and techniques for monitoring and debugging routing in a TCP/IP network. This book provides a detailed description of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), which was developed by the author, and explains why OSPF was developed and how it greatly improves network efficiency. Each chapter contains exercises to help you get a better understanding of how to efficiently implement algorithms used in OSPF....

The practical guide to large-scale networking with OSPF and IS-IS This is the definitive guide to using OSPF and IS-IS protocols in large-scale IP enterprise, carrier, and service provider networks. Well-known network designer Jeff Doyle draws on his consulting experience, offering realistic advice and straight answers on every aspect of working with link-state protocols--from scalability, reliability, and security to area design and database synchronization. This book is organized to help network engineers and architects compare OSPF and IS-IS. One feature at a time, Doyle first demonstrates how a topic or feature is implemented in OSPF, and then walks through a similar implementation using IS-IS. Professionals who are relatively new to large-scale ...
