<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>Josh,<BR><BR>If your network supports multicast or you
have plans to support it, I<BR>recommend the multicast book (Interdomain
Multicast Routing, by Edwards,<BR>Giuliano and Wright). I had always had trouble
grasping the finer points of<BR>multicast, but this book gave me the necessary
understanding of the<BR>protocols both at the conceptual and practical
level.<BR><BR>The book discusses theory and gives practical real-world configs
examples<BR>for both Juniper and Cisco routers (which will help the jump from
Cisco to<BR>Juniper). All around its one of the better practical technical books
I've<BR>read. The MSDP and the SSM chapters in particular are clear sources of
info<BR>for these protocols, and the explanation of the MSDP RPF rules alone
is<BR>worth the book's purchase.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Steve<BR><BR>"Joshua Smith"

hello all,<BR>><BR>> my employer is planning on the purchase of some
juniper routers<BR>> (m20's specifically) and i am looking for suggestions on
good<BR>> books to read (in addition to the docs on their website). i
come<BR>> from a cisco background and have only minimal knowledge of
the<BR>> hows/whys of juniper (but am looking forward to
learning).<BR>><BR>> some that looked promising on amazon
were:<BR>><BR>> juniper networks field guide and reference<BR>> juniper
and cisco routing: policy & protocols for multivendor networks<BR>>
juniper networks reference guide: junos routing, config, &
architecture<BR>><BR>> the jncia/jncip books look interesting too, but
there were no reviews....<BR>><BR>> thanks<BR>><BR>>
