Doris Pavlichek

Many people were instrumental in helping me reach my goals for this book. First and foremost, I would like to thank Tom for convincing me to make another contribution to the world of technical books. I would also like to thank Larry, James, Rajah, and Wayne for their assistance in getting me up to speed as I came in at a later stage of the project, and for answering those frantic late-night e-mail requests . Thanks to Paul Pavlichek, from whom I got a lot of feedback and background on some of the intricacies of Juniper architecture. He was also a big help in obtaining practical examples. I would be remiss if I did not also thank my children, Sean and Stephanie, for putting up with my ducking into the library immediately after dinner every night while working on this book and Paul for helping with homework and weekend entertainment. Thanks, guys!
