RE: BGP Study advice

Asif,

As Larry says both books are pretty good. I usually recommend the first
one (TCP/IP vol.2) as a fundamental step and the second one (Sam's) as
an "optional" step. But again as you mentioned the BGP features on
cisco.com (including the technology section) are *very* important - many
of them have not been covered in these two books.

I'd start with the first book then cisco.com docs and CCIE labs.

You can't go wrong with either. I still have both of these books on my
bookshelf (of course they are older versions :-) )

Grab both if you can.
