Many chapters end with case studies. These case studies are taken from real-world router configurations and range from examples of implementing solutions using Juniper Networks routers to templates that can be easily applied to your network or used to guide you in preparation for the JNCIE. Each chapter has a bibliography that lists additional texts , Web sites, and the appropriate standards relevant to each chapter. The chapters reference many Requests for Comments (RFCs). The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the body responsible for producing standards for Internet Protocol (IP) and routing protocols used for IP networks. The IETF drafts the RFCs that can then be implemented as the standard for that protocol or IP service. To access RFCs and drafts, go to the IETF Web site at www.ietf.org. These standards are current at the time of this writing and are located online at www.rfc-editor.org/rfc.html. It is our hope that you can use this book as a reference for your network today and in the future. Good luck. Thomas M. Thomas II Doris Pavlichek Lawrence H. Dwyer III Rajah Chowbay Wayne W.
