This book saved me a router upgrade. My company was set to replace our existing routers until I found this book and went thru its contents. While it discussed some obvious things, it also alerted me to a series of techniques which I put to use. Other than some obscure Cisco documents this is the only text that covers router performance and its cost was literally worth its weight in gold. Now if only my cheap company will give me a bonus.. but thats another story.

This book places all the important metrics concerning Cisco router performance in one easy to read reference. It is well worth the $29.95 price when other books selling for double the price only peripherally cover performance.

I looked through a dozen Cisco books trying to obtain an insight into tuning my organuzations router. Unfortunately, most book do not cover this topic to any extent, with the exception of this book that I stumbled upon. I found this book refreshing, as the author shows some examples that are both practical and illustrate his use of routers. Some of the other books I bought make you wounder if the author ever used a router. Even the price of this book was outstanding. The only real regret I have is I wasted $55 $70 a book for junk when I should have bought this one first for $29.95. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb me!

Quick reference with information that can be found inside Cisco's public web site. (CCO) More than 30 pages wasted with the Mib-II and Cisco's private mib extension that are also public domain. If you're really looking for Router's performance analysis and troubleshooting tips do not buy this book.
