Hi Ahmed,
I think you mean "Edition 2" ather than "Volume 2" , correct? Assuming
you
do, I'll share withyou what I did. Shortly after the 2nd Edition came
out,
I too, wondered if I should spend the money to add this new edition to
my
library of Cisco books. I went to Barnes and Noble with the 1st edition
of
the book and sat for several hours and compared the 2 editions. I don't
recall all the differences I found but the 2 differences I can remember
were
these:
1) The 2nd edition included info on prefix lists
2) The 2nd edition included info on Outbound Route Filters.
While there may have been some other minor differences, my overall
conclusion was that the 2nd edition didn't include enough new info to
make
the investment worthwhile and so I didn't purchase the 2nd edition. In
addition, I found on cisco's web site all the info I needed on these 2
features.
That being said, there's a new BGP book from Cisco Press that just came
out.
I downloaded the free chapter from Cisco Press' web site and was
impressed.
I have since ordered the book but I won't get it until around mid
January.
My guess is that this new BGP contains alot more info on the new
features of
BGP. In just that one chapter I learned about features I previously I
no
idea about.
I suspect that if you willing to spend some more money on BGP, this new
book
would probably a better investment.
HTH, dt

> Hi Folks, Does anyone know the major differences between Volume I and
Volume II of Halabi's Internet Routing Architecture Bible. I already
have
Volume I, and not sure if I should buy Volume II for my BGP preparation.
BTW, Thanks everyone for helping me out with what vendor to go with
IPexpert
vs Hello Computers. NONE. The majority of the votes have gone to
"Internetworexpert", and that will be my choice as well. Thanks,
