We all know about Howard's book, Designing Addressing Architectures for Routing and Switching; but, we rarely hear about his other books. I have just finished this book. It is a very good book, as most people here know; although, I wouldn't recommend it for somebody just starting out. You should have some experience and some idea of the basic concepts first. I have over ten years experience designing, implementing, and maintaining small LAN/WANs using a variety of technologies and protocols. I've found networking to be interesting, so I'm trying to build up my skills. Right now, I'm studying for CCDA in a somewhat roundabout way. I've already read Top-Down Network Design, as well as Howard's book, and I've started on Designing Cisco Networks. What I'm wondering about is Howard's other books, that we don't hear about very often, such as, Designing Routing and Switching Architectures. Is this one that would be good to read for basic design skills, or should I leave it for CCDP. Obviously, I'm not looking to just pass CCDA, but to really nail network design. I also have Christian Huitema's IPv6 2ed, which I will probably read after I finish the MySQL book (besides networking, I do quite a bit of System Administration and consulting).
