Review: This book is for engineers and network architects who are familiar with OSPF, but would like to learn more about IS-IS and compare the two. The book begins with foundation concepts and works up to more complex ones. The author takes one feature at a time and shows how it is implemented in OSPF, and then goes through a similar implementation in IS-IS. There are chapters on: message types; addressing, neighbour discovery and adjacencies; flooding; link state database synchronisation; area design; scaling; security and reliability; extensibility; extensions for MPLS traffic engineering; extensions for IPv6; and extensions for multi-topology routing.
