As suggested by others, the Cisco Press Internet Routing 
Architectures is considered a must have, but there are some online 
resources written by Avi Freedman which I have found useful - dive 
on over to http://avi.freedman.net/. 

There's articles Avi has written for Boardwatch, FAQs about multi-
homing, and the PPT foils from tutorials that Avi has given at 
NANOG.

All are worth reading.

Still buy a copy of Internet Routing Architectures :-).
