Title: IP Fundamentals: What Everyone Needs to Know about Addressing & Routing by Thomas Albert Maufer ISBN: 0-13-975483-0 Publisher: Pearson Education Pub. Date: 25 May, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |

Summary: Very good explanation of concepts. however poor editing
Comment: This otherwise excellent book is marred and riddled by moderate to serious typos. At times the typos almost makes the text incomprehensible.
If the reader is ready to put in the extra effort and patience to understand these troubled portions of the book, then what he gets is surely worth all the trouble.
The book is one of the best book on IP that I have ever read. It explains in very great details and with amazing simplicity the most cryptic details about CIDR, VLSM and other highly complex topics.
The Chapters are arranged very logically and it almost feels like a continous text. I have decided to give the book 4 stars although it deserves more than 5 stars. I would really advise the publishers to spend some more time on a book to ensure its correctness, before the send the book out to the press.
One last think which I feel is that this book does assumes certain previous knowledge of concepts like ARP and other basic concepts of IP, hence this book should be much more fun and usefull after a reading a primary book on TCP/IP like Douglas Comer or W.R. Stevens.

Summary: Excellent Explanation Of VLSMs
Comment: This is a tremendous book for IP newbies and more experienced users alike. I bought the book primarily because I had not been able to find a comprehensive and understandable explanation of VLSMs. The chapter in this book dealing with that subject itself is worth the purchase price. Clearly explained with text, examples, and exercises, this book took a complicated subject and made it quite easy to understand. The rest of the book is just as good. My compliments to the author for an excellent job.

Summary: This will make it easier to understand the IP World.
Comment: I have passed several exam involving IP, Routing and Switching. I though I had a very good understanding of the concepts. After reading this book I found that what I knew only scratched the surface.
From the beginning of the book you get topics like IP and IP routing foundations, addressing, subnetting, VLSM, detailed breakdown of the first three layers of the OSI model, Ethernet technologies, token ring and FDDI, PPP and Frame Relay.
The author breaks down routing with RIP and OSPF very well and makes the concepts comprehensible for even the beginner level technician. Also he handles ICMP, 802.1q & p as well as first-rate coverage of DHCP.
The book seems very complete and the author makes sure to include the RFCs that correspond to the different section for the reference purposes. Overall this is one of the best books for IP subject matter.
