If you buy one book on Frame Relay, get this one!

This book is extremely well written and does a great job of explaining the various aspects of Frame Relay. Jeff Buckwalter does an excellent job of explaining these concepts to readers who are either new to Frame Relay or have quite a lot of experience with it.As someone who has configured a few Frame Relay networks, I found this book a wonderful source of information! Great illustrations!

A great book for introducing frame relay.

If you are a newbie trying to break your way into the world of Frame Relay, this book is a must have. (I have LAN experience, but not WAN experience) Plenty of illustrations and analogies to help understand the concepts. This book was a pleasuer to read. I cant say that for most technical books...

An Excellent Frame Relay Reference !

"Frame Relay: Technology and Practice" is an excellent resource for network managers, designers, engineers, & support staff. Jeff Buckwalter provides valuable insights into frame relay technology fundamentals, network design, and evaluating frame relay service providers. The concepts presented improve the reader's ability to design, implement, and support a frame relay networking infrastructure.

Can't miss

I was lucky enough to review this book for the publisher and it is packed with must have information. It is an excellent resource for learning about Frame Relay as well as a reference book I will be turning to on a regular basis. I found the format easy to read and the tables invaluable for comparing and reinforcing the information in the text.

Good overview of frame relay for network designers

The book is a good practical reference which covers the basics of frame relay, architecture, service pricing, QoS issues in addition to newer topics like voice-over-frame, frame relay to ATM interworking (FRF.5/FRF.8). I found the section on FRF.5/8 as well as the coverage of VoFR (FRF.11) and fragmentation (FRF.12) quite good. These are topics not usually covered in most texts on frame relay. On the whole an easy-to-follow text for practical network designers.
