How is that?  Halabi's "Internet Routing Architectures" is really good, 
but not really the best intro to the topic. :)  It's also completely 
Cisco-centric (being a Cisco Press book and all).  Does the O'Reilly book 
cover Juniper or any open source BGP implementations?   Is it fairly 
example-heavy?  How does it compare to Halabi's book?

Thanks,

Charles
