Bought this book about a year and a half ago. Learned everything I never
wanted to know about RIP from it <g>! But - the BGP section seemed a lot
more theoretical. I'm one of those people who would learn more from seeing
how someone else's router were configured, along with an explaination of
why, than I would from tons of theory. I guess I've the victim of far too
much on-the-job training <g>!
