I see a lot of posting about the BSCN books. This is just my point of view on the books that are out there for learning the material for the exam and retaining the information afterwards. Doyle's Routing TCP/IP covers OSPF/EIGRP completely as well as Route map, route redistribution, ODR default route, and route filtering Halabi's Interner Routing Architecture covers all you need to know about BGP and more There is no need for additional books and YOU NEED THOSE TWO BOOKS ANYWAY as reference and for CCIE. The other book out there that tries to cover all the objectives in one book, but really fails to do so, IMHO, is BSCN by Mr. Thomas II I read the book and made some comments on this list earlier last month. There seemed to be a consensus on the poor quality of writing on the subjects covered in the book. We have to buy enough books as it is so buy the good ones first and if you want additional resources use CCO Just a man's point of view..............
