I point them at http://www.isoc.org, http://www.merit.edu, http://www.ripe.net and http://www.internic.net but they still have to go rooting around in there looking for the key items in a mass of information that is of lesser utility. There is no map! The source documents are nice to have, but without a map you don't even know if you are looking at the right ones!
OK folks, I'll step to the plate (sorta :) I'll host the site on my website (v-site.net) and act as the co-ordinator, evaluator, since I haven't climbed completely out of the learning curve I should be a good evaluator :)
Currently I'm reading this book called "Routing on the Internet" by Christian Huitema, it's not bad and will explain Interior Routing Protocols pretty well, it even has a chapter on "policy based routing" but obviously it is incomplete, still It's a start.
Hello all, Somehow I'm aliased on this thread, This is one time I'm glad of it though. I seem to fit alot of the descriptions you've used for newer network operators. I'd like to be kept informed of any new info I could read to make me better at my job. What I've read today (sources of) will keep me busy for some time I suspect. Thanks again.
