4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on data communication technologies!, 2 May 1999
By A Customer
This was very comprehensive book covering how the X.25, packet switching, Frame Relay, SMDS, and ATM data technologies work. It also does a good job of explaining how the various protocols interoperate by encapsulating packets, cells, or frames of data into their own packet, cell or frame formats. Very readable. The book has lots of diagrams and is not too technical. I learned a lot from the book and would recommend it to anyone seeking an in-depth overview of data communications systems.

This book did not really teach me how to design data networks, but I feel I have a much better understanding of how data networks function since reading this book.

My only complaint with the book is the excessive use of acronyms. While the acronyms are listed in the back of the book in a table, their pervasive use in the text was annoying and made it harder to understand. A minor irritant, at worst.

My best testament to the book is that I lost my original copy and was so dismayed by the prospect of not finishing it that I spent another $65 to buy a second copy!

3.0 out of 5 stars All Around Great Reference, 24 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Provides in-depth material on all types of network topics, plus some good information on why to implement a network.

Some of the diagrams are too small and hard to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs better cross reference
Index is lacking. Not every technical term is indexed nor defined in the glossary. A good general reference on all network conecepts.
