Last I heard, LC cataloging had a backlog of about a million books.  But,
they get to see the pre-prints 6-12 months early from major publishers
participating in CIP, so it tends to even out.  Obligatory explanation,
not everything published or copyrighted is accepted by LC for inclusion
in their permenant catalog.  DRA is not affiliated with LOC.

I suppose someone should check with John, but I did a quick check of
Books in Print, OCLC, RLG, and MELVYL and didn't see anything called
"OSPF Complete Implementation."  I don't know if it is part of a boxed
set, had a title change, or is being published by a different publisher
which doesn't get its stuff in the major databases as fast.  Or maybe
its gotten tangled up in some type of copyright issue on the source
code delaying it.

See John Moy's excellent book(s), OSPF: Anatomy of an Internet 
Routing Protocol, and it's companion book, OSPF Complete Implementation.
The former is ISBN 0-201-63472-4 and the latter has an ospfd 
implementation "intended to be portable to a wide range of
environments."  

I've read, and enjoyed his first, but cannot find the companion book
anywhere.  Heck, even Amazon doesn't have it.  Does anyone have the ISBN
for it? 

I can't see the second at dra.com; and that's the Library of
Congress, civilized. 

If it exists, it's gotta be rare. Anyone with OCLC access handy?
