5.0 out of 5 stars The best book with Cisco in the title .. ever., January 5, 2000

By	Roy Evans (UK) - See all my reviews

So, Ivans courses are for Europe only , the rest of the world is really missing out.

Like his courses, the book is full of little tiny nuggets of gold that you have never seen anywhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shwing ! A must have for large EIGRP network designers, May 30, 2000

By	Geof (Bit Head) (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

Amazing ! The info in this book in not available anywhere.. It's priceless for anyone who manages large EIGRP net's.. <<Thank You Ivan>>

4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat pleased but lacking essentials., September 5, 2001

By	"guahan" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The book is fundamentally good for learning the basics of Eigrp but what I find lacking is real case study scenarios where actual diagnostic cases are captured, analyzed, solved, and presented. An example would be like, how would a topology appear when a site has 4 equal (or a mix) serial and high-speed interfaces destined to 2 remote sites. And how can the metric be influenced so that certain paths are more favorable over others. And in so doing, explain the gotchas (if any). I was looking for pointers in the book but didn't find any so had to examine other resources.
