Summary: Good Intro for Those New to VoIP
Comment: While this isn't the end and be all book on VoIP it provides a good foundation for getting starting on the voice features in Cisco routers. For those of you that have to justify integrating VoIP into your network the first chapter covers some of the business reasons for doing so.

The coverage on the different QOS methods I found helpful. Understanding the difference between WFQ and CBWFQ and why one should use the latter helped. The configuration examples were great, I just wish that there were more included.

Summary: Good Protocol Coverage
Comment: This book provides excellent technical examples on how to configure Cisco VoIP products.

The last chapter also includes information on the new AVVID IP phones. Information that I have been looking for.

Also, valuable information that I haven't been able to find elsewhere such as how WFQ is not optimal for VoIP QOS and how CBWFQ and IP RTP Priority solve this problem.

Good coverage of QOS concepts.

Summary: Buy the CIM Basic Voip over IP Instead
Comment: I just passed the CVoice exam and this was one of the (few available) books that I used. I also used the Cisco Interactive Mentor for VOIP and found it to be FAR superior to this book, both in terms of general technical info and test preparation. I also recently picked up Integrating Voice and Data Networks (Cisco Press) and what I've read so far has convinced me that there is no reason on earth to buy this book anymore -- the long awaited "good Cisco VOIP book(s)" are here, and this is definitely not one of them.

Aside from the IPv6 padding (which I also objected to), I also had a real problem with the author's writing style -- it was almost like someone just typed up some random notes. I can't understand what the 5 star reviewers are talking about ... this book is definitely NOT going to be a classic. My only hope is that there isn't a second edition.

Save your money and buy the CIM or Cisco Press book.
