Awesome highly recommended - 10 stars
Best book on the market for OSPF no doubt about it.

This book is real quality 10 stars for me, is starts from the basics of OSPF to really advanced topics. The topics are really well organised and is a great guide for the novice and even the expert will find material here of great value, its a book that should be on anyone's shelf and for those implementing and designing OSPF, the book has quality examples and is written by someone who really has a sound grasp of OSPF and how it should be designed and implemented into any IP network. Highly recommneded guide for anyone routing IP

Decent coverage of OSPF design issues, but poor quality
I have to agree with another reviewer - I don't see how anyone can rate this book so highly. True, I haven't yet made it all the way through the book, but already I have many, many errors. Most of the errors that I have seen so far are relatively easy to decipher, but then perhaps there are many more errors that I'm not catching because I'm not knowledgeable enough with OSPF yet.

I'm giving the book an avg rating because it does seem to give a good treatment of design issues, but there are just too many mistakes. This book would probably be MUCH better in a second edition.

It's a good 10,000 foot view book but lacks meat at times
I revisited this book the other day. It's not bad, but it doesn't have any concrete examples that can help set the concepts in concrete. Originally, I had a scathing review, but after reviewing the book again, I might have over reacted.
