Good day,
A second edition implies that the book is more up-to-date. It probably
doesn't include many new topics, though. Halabi's second edition of
"Internet Routing Architectures" is out and it's similar to his first
edition, (in other words, very good). He got help from Danny McPherson on
the second edition, and I think that made the book even more readable. It
is THE book for learning BGP, a very important topic for BSCN.
Jeff Doyle, on the other hand, is working on Volume II of his "Routing
TCP/IP." That's different than a second edition. A second volume means new
material, new topics. In particular, his Volume II is going to include BGP.
Volume I did not include BGP. On the other hand, Volume I of "Routing
TCP/IP" is THE book for learning every other major IP routing protocol,
especially OSPF.
So, for now, I would recommend Volume I of Jeff Doyle's "Routing TCP/IP"
and the 2nd edition of Halabi's "Internet Routing Architectures." Volume II
of "Routing TCP/IP" isn't due out until March. By then you will have
memorized Halabi's book and become a CCIE! ;-)
