Excellent text on standards based communications

You will find this book discusses LAN, and MAN standards. The How, what, is described in detail. References are made directly to ITU-T and IEEE standards. Expect to find detailed descriptions of the MAC and LLC components of HDLC, 802.X LLC, LAP/B, LAP/D. Also a good reference on MAN standards DQDB, SMDS, ISDN, Broadband ISDN, LAP/D. This book is not for the network programmer in general but an excellent reference for the data communications network architect, engineer or student studying LAN and MAN standards.
