Book on Network Architecture and Design
Fellow NANOGers, I am in search of a good book about Network Architecture and Design, with emphasis in Quality of Service and convergent networks, to be used as a reference. Could you please indcate your favorites? -- Abraços, Marlon Borba, CISSP, APC DataCenter Associate Técnico Judiciário - Segurança da Informação IPv6 Evangelist TRF 3 Região (11) 3012-1000 r. 5678 -- Practically no IT system is risk free.

Some might say those two mutually exclusive sets, but here are some of my favorite general reference networking books good for most any netop's library (in no particular order): An Engineering Approach to Computer Networks S. Keshav TCP/IP Illustrated: Volume I W. Richard Steves Internet Core Protocols Eric A. Hall Interconnections: 2nd Edition Radia Perlman Computer Networks: A Systems Approach Larry Peterson and Bruce Davie If you want something specific to vendor hardware and configurations I'm sure others will be happy to suggest their favorites, personally I don't generally find those sorts of texts as useful so I can't really speak to any of the multitude available.

I can recommend all of these except Peterson/Davie which I have not read, but Richard (Rick) Steves writes travel books. TCP/IP Illustrated: Vol. 1 was written by the late W. Richard Stevens.

Just nitpicking, but SteveNs is the bible to me.
