5.0 out of 5 stars A really cool idea, January 28, 2000

This review is from: Big Book of IPsec RFCs: IP Security Architecture (The Big Books Series) (Paperback)

A lot of people probably figure, why spend the $s for a book that's mostly RFCs--after all, they're all available online for nothing. But if you've ever spent much time working with RFCs, you probably also have a ton of them printed out and filled with Post-IT notes (like I do). It's definitely worth it to have them all printed and bound AND INDEXED. I wish I'd a thought of doing this.

This review is from: Big Book of IPsec RFCs: IP Security Architecture (The Big Books Series) (Paperback)

For the past decade or so, my desk has been inundated by laser-printed RFCs. Picked up from the IETF site. Loose, frequently out of numerical order, and impossible to handle. Now Pete Loshin has assembled all the important security RFCs in a large, handy book. It's both well laid-out and handy. There might have been a bit more introductory material, but the accessibility of the RFCs makes this a must have. And I can recycle over a thousand sheets of paper.
