Decent University Textbook

This is a good textbook that is meant as a theoretical introduction to Network Management. It is unique in that it covers quite a bit of the scope of a broad and diverse subject.This is not easy reading, it has to be studied instead. Chances are that one would have to print RFCs or other Standards documents to get an indepth look at a particular set of standards. Given how unique this book is, and despite the dryness of subject matter, I do consider it as a good book. As a university course, it does not have many questions and exercises, but that shouldn't take away from the value it brings to the subject.To make this more like easy reading, it can be probably divided into more than one part and add lots more graphics and illustration to better help the reader.

Practical guide to TMN standards and technologies

This is a good practical guide to Network Management standards and technologies. The author explains the Network Management standards and technologies in detail and then applies them to the various solutions. He covers different protocols, standards, architectures, functional areas of Network Management. New areas like CORBA, ODP, Service Management are also introduced. This book can be used for obtaining a conceptual understanding of Network management areas with ability to understand practical systems. For a beginner this book can serve as a good introduction to various areas of Network Management. For an experienced person, this can serve as a reinforcing text. Exercises help to verify our knowledge and extend our thoughts in different areas. This book is not suitable for a beginner in computer science. But a valuable reference for a beginner in network management. Diagrams in this book are simple and do the purpose although better diagramming tool could have been used.
