BGP and IPv6 were rather slim, but I would say this is due more to the focus of the book being on passing CCNP Route rather than the author leaving information out. EIGRP and OSPF were both covered in very good detail, probably even more than a pass on the CCNP Route exam would require. One of the best examples was a very precise and easy to follow breakdown of EIGRP’s successor and feasible successor, and how the formula behind these selections is how EIGRP maintains a loop free topology. I am always looking for reference materials that bring a new and different view on old topics that get stale during my studies. I purchased this book after have visited many times and using a few of the free labs available. These topics have introduction chapters that bring you back up to speed with a CCNA refresh, then concurrent chapters that go into further CCNP level detail. The book contains twenty two chapters that break down EIGRP, OSPF, Route Manipulation, Redistribution, BGP and IPv6. The primary purpose of the book is to help in passing the CCNP Route exam, which is pretty clear from the title. This book seems to follow suit with the goal of that site, to understand the what and why behind the configuration commands needed to make networks work.
