Title: Exceptional overview of router architecture
Review: Excellent book for anyone wanting to know exactly how Cisco IOS software (and router hardware) really works. Functionally complete explanation of the different switching methods that IOS employs, as well as an in-depth view of a few hardware architectures. For anyone who ever wanted (or needed) to know how Cisco implements queueing and shared memory, and how CEF/dCEF work their magic. Also includes a large poster-size flow chart in the back of the book illustrating the steps packets take from being received to being routed and sent back out for several different architectures.
