March 09, 2009: This book is essential for the Cisco Routing Protocols and Concepts course. The same content is available online via the Cisco Academy but it really helps to have the book to refer back to.

A must have for every NetAcad studentby Anonymous

January 31, 2008: As a student, I've found the online curriculum to be unreliable. The text size is small and cannot really be changed. The curriculum is only accessible online also and loads too slow. Purchasing this book was a good idea. Everything including the practice quizzes, Packet Tracer Activities,glossary, and diagrams are included in this book. All the chapters of the Routing Protocols and Concepts curriculum is implemented in here. Purchasing this book was a good idea. I was able to study any time and anywhere I wanted without a computer. I can also retain more information by going back in the book and reviewing the concepts. Without this book I don't know how I could have gotten through the curriculum. It really helped me! I would recommend you to get one too. This really helps you remember your concepts. I would highly recommend purchasing the Labs and Study Guide to go with this. They include additional labs and exercises.
