My book, Top-Down Network Design, doesn't cover routing protocols in a lot
of depth. Routing TCP/IP, on the hand, has numerous chapters on routing
protocols. It's a terrific book. (There's a second volume out now too.)
Another excellent book is Designing Routing and Swtiching Architectures by
Howard Berkowitz.
I think my book is excellent also, :-), but it has a larger scope:
analyzing business requirements
analyzing technical requirements
characterizing performance of the current network
documenting the current network
predicting traffic flow and volume for the redesign
multiprotocol addressing design
selecting routing and switching protocols
network management design
security design
physical-layer issues
selecting products to implement your design
testing your design
optimizing your design with fancy queuing, multicast, proxy functions, etc.
documenting your design
