4.0 out of 5 stars A good book about RIP v1 & v2
When I got this book, I understood what the anonymous reviewer meant by saying this book is overspaced.

In comparison to "BGP4, Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet", this book is about 33% wider due to wide margins and a bit higher due to line spacing being a bit larger.

1.0 out of 5 stars content free guide to RIP?
Thank goodness for the large font, and wide spacing on this fluffy attempt at presenting a technichal topic: otherwise far more extraneous and useless information would have had to be included in order to make this book big enough to keep from sliding into a fold of flesh in my ponderous belly.

This review is from: RIP: An Intra-Domain Routing Protocol (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series) (Paperback)
When I got this book, I understood what the anonymous reviewer meant by saying this book is overspaced.

In comparison to "BGP4, Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet", this book is about 33% wider due to wide margins and a bit higher due to line spacing being a bit larger.

As the amount of material is nearly identical (same number of lines, line width, and the RIP book is 20 pages shorter), I wish the books had the same page size.

Anyway, I disagree with the reviewer - RIP is a simple protocol, and there's no reason for a book focused on it to be any bigger.

This book is excellent for network administrators who are already familiar with the basics of IP and just want a book to study RIP from, without any material about IP, routing, or graph algorithms in general, especially as the book is written by an authority on the subject.

This review is from: RIP: An Intra-Domain Routing Protocol (The Addison-Wesley Networking Basics Series) (Paperback)
This book provides a concise, albeit comprehensive discussion of RIP-1/2. It offers help with configuration, day-to-day operation and troubleshooting. If you do not have a lot of time but need to understand the fundamentals of RIP-1/2, give this book a read.
