"Out of all the CCNP ROUTE material that I have, I must say, this is one of the best, if not the best, CCNP ROUTE study guides out there. The instructor, Mr. Bryant is extremely sharp at explaining complex topics about the CCNP ROUTE exam." "Along the way I have read textbooks by Todd Lammle, Cisco Press as well as others. While I do not discredit these authors, I do find that the Bryant Advantage material is much easier to digest and understand. The CCNP Route study guide explained concepts that I found difficult to grasp, compared to similar lessons covered by other authors."
