Summary: IP and videos a training concept that really works.
Review: Learning the finer points of IP, routing and IP routing protocols could be very expensive in a formalized training center, right? You need to learn at a pace comfortable for you and at cost that won't require shelling major dollars.Prentice Hall and Ulyess Black have put together a package that may rival any formal training course out there. The package is made up of two books and two videos. In book 1 - IP Routing Protocols there is 260 page covering protocols like RIP, OSPF, BGP, PNNI, IGRP and EIGRP. Also there is coverage of SAPs, stub areas and NSSB and NHRP. The book finishes with bridging and bridges. Book 2 - IP Routing Protocols Workbook goes with the first book and the two videos. Video 1 covers the first 11 sections, while video 2 tackles the remaining 9. There is over 3 ½ hours of video material. This package is an excellent way to listen and learn and this package allows you to learn at your own pace. For the money this is a very good learning tool to purchase.

Summary: Only the basics!!!!
Review: The course presents a good overview of IP Routing but fails to give any indepth information. As someone who works in networking, I was hoping for more. However, as an introduction to routing, and for an understanding of the basics of these topics, this set is a good buy. The videos are easy to watch, and Mr. Black is a decent speaker, but he does pause on occasion (almost like he is waiting for a cue card to be changed?!?) I would recommend this set to people who are starting out or who need only an overview of IP routing.
