5/5 stars, full page review: "This book isn't a reference - it's a survival guide, a 'break glass in case of emergency' safety harness... What I found remarkable was how it was obviously written for people like me - who have little interest in router management but whose jobs depend on the consistent, trusted functioning of such infrastructure."

"If you are a new network admin, or a systems person just exploring routers and their use, this is a great investment. The tongue in cheek writing style and excellent descriptions make it a generally good read."
