Discusses how network traffic flow is complicated by the fact that each routing vendor has its own propietary implementation or extension to the routing protocols. Covers both Juniper and Cisco routing, and touches on other vendor implementations. Focuses on routing policy, covering Border Gateway Protocol in depth. Includes real-world multivendor configuration examples.

This guide to multicasting routing explains the complexities of this growing technology. It provides an overview of the current state of development, analyzes its relevant protocols, and shows how they work together. Real-world examples illustrate key concepts. Specific topics include: PIM-SM and MSDP, Any-Source and Source-Specific delivery models, building dedicated multicast environments, and IGMP and its various versions. A glossary defines key terms and important acronyms. The authors are engineers and technical writers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Detailed examples and case studies make this the ideal hands-on guide to implementing Juniper Networks systems. It contains something for everyone, and covers all the basics for beginners while challenging experience users with tested configuration examples throughout the book.

This bestselling book serves as the go-to study guide for Juniper Networks enterprise routing certification exams. The second edition has been updated with all the services available to the Junos administrator, including the new set of flow-based security services as well as design guidelines incorporating new services and features of MX, SRX, and EX network devices.

This is the first book written by a team of Juniper experts. This comprehensive and easy-to-use reference explains the configuration and operation of Juniper Networks routers, hardware, and software.

In 1994, W. Richard Stevens and Addison-Wesley published a networking classic: TCP/IP Illustrated. The model for that book was a brilliant, unfettered approach to networking concepts that has proven itself over time to be popular with readers of beginning to intermediate networking knowledge. The Illustrated Network takes this time-honored approach and modernizes it by creating not only a much larger and more complicated network, but also by incorporating all the networking advancements that have taken place since the mid-1990s, which are many. This book takes the popular Stevens approach and modernizes it, employing 2008 equipment, operating systems, and router vendors. It presents an ?illustrated? explanation of how TCP/IP works with consistent examples from a real, working network configuration that includes servers, routers, and workstations. Diagnostic traces allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented clarity and precision. True to the title of the book, there are 330+ diagrams and screen shots, as well as topology diagrams and a unique repeating chapter opening diagram. Illustrations are also used as end-of-chapter questions. A complete and modern network was assembled to write this book, with all the material coming from real objects connected and running on the network, not assumptions. Presents a real world networking scenario the way the reader sees them in a device-agnostic world.
