Nortel Networks Layer 3 Switching

This book is a nice index of the different Nortel Routers and their features are. The book is also a great reference as an overview of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching in relation to the specific Nortel hardware (i.e. Passport, Accelar). The book is indispensible if you own and manage a Nortel switching solution.
