BGP BooksAmazon isn't the cheapest online bookstore, but they do have the best information on books, in my opinion. |
| |
|
BGP by Iljitsch van Beijnum In essence, I wrote the book I wish I had when I first started out with BGP. It explains current interdomain routing practices, including AS number and IP addressing issues, and has real-world BGP examples for Cisco routers. |
| |
|
Internet Routing Architectures by Sam Halabi Very detailed description of BGP, with Cisco example configurations. | |
|
Cisco BGP-4 Command and Configuration Handbook by William R. Parkhurst This book is structured as a reference manual for the BGP commands in Cisco IOS, but it offers more: for each command, there is at least one example that shows how the command is used. |
| |
|
BGP4 Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet by John W. Stewart Haven't read it. Shorter than the others at 137 pages (and cheaper). I hear it's good, with a detailed protocol description and operational details. | |
|
Big Book of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) RFCs by Pete Loshin, et al. Haven't read it. Just the RFCs. |

|
Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet by Katie Hafner, Matthew Lyon Describes the early days of the Internet, or rather, the ARPANET. Very interesting. |
| |
|
Computer Networks by Andrew S. Tanenbaum Classic textbook on computer networking. Covers everything from layering (the OSI model), transmission media, error detection and correction, sliding windows to congestion control and much, much more. | |
|
Gigabit Ethernet: Migrating to High-Bandwidth Lans by Jayant Kadambi, Mohan Kalkunte, Ian Crayford Excellent book on Ethernet, with many interesting things on 10, 100 and 1000 megabit Ethernet. The book goes into great detail. |
| |
|
The Protocols (TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1) by W. Richard Stevens Covers many protocols from the TCP/IP family, but the 120 pages on TCP alone makes the book worth buying. | |
|
Cisco IOS in a Nutshell by James Boney Good primer on Cisco IOS configuration in general. |
