If the router's not happy, nobody's happy. The Cisco Router Performance Field Guide describes a series of strategies for determining whether a given Cisco Systems router is doing what it's supposed to do and doing it at peak efficiency. It also includes a lot of information on adjusting configuration files to correct problems and improve performance. Author Gil Held is a respected expert on Cisco products, and he upholds his reputation here. Network administrators who have their routing gear in place and are in optimization and troubleshooting mode will like what they find here. This book is heavy on prose, packing lots of facts and concepts into each paragraph. For this reason, it isn't a book for the novice, and even some veterans might take some time in deciphering what Held has written in certain places. As aids to the practically minded, this book includes a fair number of command-and-response listings, as well as listings of configuration files. The illustrations are the main shortcoming of this book. Clearly, some editor decided that illustrations were necessary for their own sake, and included pointless screen shots of console windows and file listings in an otherwise excellent book. There aren't too many of these, however, and Held's excellent explanations and documentation shine through.
