Customer Reviews

Everzthing you wanted to know about network technology

The book has three main sections. One explains network technologies like IP and ATM. The next tells you where they fit into the real world and the third illustrates it. The style is really nice. It is easy to read, even when some difficult things are being explained. There is plenty of good advice and sharp observation throughout. Overall, it is a good read and a useful book to have close by. I work with a lot of telecomms people and it has done a lot for my credibility.

Good guide to modern data network technology

There are two things that are very useful about this book. 1. It is easy to read and presents the key facts in a really good way. 2. They explain how the technology is used. No fancy long words. Just nice clear stories - just like a good teacher would do it.
