Summary: Very good book on VoIP fundamentals
Comment: This book is the one to read if you want to know something about the basics of Voice Over IP and the protocols which are involved like H.323. It also gives you an introduction to the POTS ( plain old telephony service ) standards. So, if you are new to VoIP and want to read about it from the ground, buy this.
But it is not the right choice if you are searching for preparation material for the cisco #640-647 cvoice exam. For that exam you also have to know something about VoFR and VoATM, which is not covered deeply enough here.

Summary: Voice over IP Fundamentals
Comment: Jim, Jon, and Brian have written a good informational book about the basics of voip technology. It is interesting to see where voice started and provide a clear path for where it is going. I found the configurations in the back very useful.
As a note to the previous reviewer: Page 168 states that "serialization delay is not covered IN-DEPTH". If the previous reviewer continued to read the book they would have noted on page 213 and 214 a discussion on propagation delay and the need for fragmentation. Overall I found the book useful, however I would have liked more configurations.

Summary: Difficult book to read and understand
Comment: Although this book is but 15 chapters and 336 pages long it took me an incredible amount of time to read through it due to the complexity with which it was written. I've read several Cisco Press books in the same time it took to read this one! Further, I found myself asking the question over and over again, "If this book is about the fundamentals of Voice over IP and is 'A Systematic Approach to Understanding the Basics of Voice over IP', why is it difficult to grasp even the 'basics' as presented by the authors?" As stated in a previous review, the authors have a great understanding of the topics, however, like my Theory of Operating Systems instructor, they do not do well in 'dumbing' down that information to me, a layperson in this field. This book was definitely written by VoIP engineers for VoIP engineers, not for beginners like myself.
