Includes configuration and troubleshooting lessons that would cost thousands
to learn in a classroom and numerous real-world examples and case studies
Praised in its first edition for its approachable style and wealth of
information, this new edition provides readers a deep understanding of IP
routing protocols, teaches how to implement these protocols using Cisco routers,
and brings readers up to date protocol and implementation enhancements. Routing
TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, includes protocol changes and Cisco features
that enhance routing integrity, secure routers from attacks initiated through
routing protocols, and provide greater control over the propagation of routing
information for all the IP interior routing protocols. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1,
Second Edition, provides a detailed analysis of each of the IP interior gateway
protocols (IGPs). Its structure remains the same as the best-selling first
edition, though information within each section is enhanced and modified to
include the new developments in routing protocols and Cisco implementations.
What's New In This Edition? The first edition covers routing protocols as they
existed in 1998. The new book updates all covered routing protocols and
discusses new features integrated in the latest version of Cisco IOS Software.
IPv6, its use with interior routing protocols, and its interoperability and
integration with IPv4 are also integrated into this book. Approximately 200
pages of new information are added to the main text, with some old text removed.
Additional exercise and solutions are also included.

Eclipse is more than a state-of-the-art IDE: its Rich Client Platform (RCP)
plug-ins form an outstanding foundation for any desktop application, from chat
applications to enterprise software front-ends. In Eclipse Rich Client Platform,
two leaders of the Eclipse RCP project show exactly how to leverage Eclipse for
rapid, efficient, cross-platform desktop development.
In addition to explaining the power of Eclipse as a desktop application
development platform, the authors walk step-by-step through developing a fully
featured, branded RCP application. They introduce a wide range of techniques,
including developing pluggable and dynamically extensible systems, using third-
party code libraries, and packaging applications for diverse environments.
You'll build, refine, and refactor a complete prototype; customize the user
interface; add Help and Update features; and build, brand, and ship the finished
software.
For every Java developer, regardless of previous Eclipse experience
Thoroughly covers Eclipse 3.1's new RCP features and its extensive new tools
for designing, coding, and packaging RCP applications
Presents techniques for branding and customizing the look and feel of RCP
applications
Shows how to overcome the challenges and "rough edges" of RCP development
Discusses the similarities and differences between RCP and conventional plug-
in development
Includes an overview of OSGi, the base execution framework for Eclipse
If you want to develop and deploy world-class Java applications with rich,
native GUIs, and use Eclipse RCP get this book.

Developed by an extremely active open source community, Moodle is a
sophisticated course management system that's ideal for creating dynamic online
learning communities and for supplementing face-to-face learning. Used in more
than 115 countries and supporting over 60 languages, Moodle can scale from a
single-teacher site to a 40,000- student university. Teachers who use Moodle
have access to an array of powerful tools such as assignments, forums, journals,
quizzes, surveys, chat rooms, and workshops. Using Moodle is a comprehensive,
hands-on guide that explains how the system works, with plenty of examples and
best practices for its many features and plug-in modules. Authored by a member
of the Moodle community, this authoritative book also exposes little-known but
powerful hacks for more technically savvy users. For anyone who is using-or
thinking of using-this CMS, Using Moodle is required reading.

Cisco Press | ISBN 1587051990 | October 21, 2005 Year | CHM | 35,4 Mb | 720
Pages
A complete configuration manual for MPLS, MPLS VPNs, MPLS TE, QoS, Any
Transport over MPLS (AToM), and VPLS
Understand the crucial Cisco commands for various MPLS scenarios
Understand fundamentals of MPLS operation and learn to configure basic MPLS in
Frame Relay and ATM-based environments
Master fundamentals of MPLS VPN operation including Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP)
operation, VPNv4 route exchange, and basic MPLS VPN configuration in the
provider network
Understand and configure various PE-CE routing protocols in MPLS VPN networks
Understand MPLS VPN provisioning in an Inter-provider VPN (Inter-AS) and
Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) environment
Learn MPLS TE and its advanced features
Examine AToM with configuration examples for like-to-like and any-to-any L2
VPN implementations and VPLS components and operation, VPLS configuration and
verification, and VPLS topologies
Learn about MPLS QoS, including configuration and implementation of uniform
and short pipe modes
MPLS Configuration on Cisco IOS Software is a complete and detailed resource to
the configuration of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks and
associated features. Through its practical, hands-on approach, youll become
familiar with MPLS technologies and their configurations using Cisco IOS®
Software.
MPLS Configuration on Cisco IOS Software covers basic-to-advanced MPLS concepts
and configuration. Beyond its emphasis on MPLS, youll learn about applications
and deployments associated with MPLS, such as traffic engineering (TE), Layer 2
virtual private networks (VPN), and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). Youll
receive practical guidance and deployment scenarios that can be enhanced by re-
creation of the setups and configurations demonstrated within this book.
Youll move quickly from a brief overview of MPLS technology and basic MPLS
configuration on Cisco® routers to more advanced topics. Several chapters
provide instruction on VPN connectivity options, including implementing Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP) in MPLS VPNs. Youll receive configuration guidelines for
advanced MPLS implementations such as MPLS TE, quality of service (QoS), and
extranet VPNs. Youll learn about implementation of Layer 2 VPNs versus Layer 3
VPNs with Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM). And youll see demonstrations of
implementing VPLS on Cisco routers complete with the configurations and platform
support.
"I highly recommend MPLS Configuration on Cisco IOS Software as required reading
for those in search of practical guidance of the technology and nuances of
configuring MPLS for next-generation networks for voice, video, data, and
application service offerings across a wide variety of deployment scenarios."
