5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible Networking Resource,
By Mark K. Uptegraft (Boca Raton, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Networking (Network Press) (Hardcover)
An Absolute must for anyone wanting to become an Inter (WAN) and/or Intra (LAN) computer engineer. Covers many telecom and networking standards, protocols, design, and theories. This reference along with the "Illistrated Telecom Dictionary," by Jade Clayton, is of great assistance with the MCSE's Networking Essentials, Comptia's Network +, and Cisco Routers.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely useful,
By Spiff (Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Networking (Network Press) (Hardcover)
Encyclopedia of Networking is a very valuable reference tool for anyone studying or working in the networking industry. This book has summaries of the major concepts related to networking. While this book is definitely useful, it is obviously not the ideal guide to learn from scratch, but if you have other good titles for each specific area (or general networking titles like Fred Halsall's and Tanenbaum's) you will find this very helpful when it is necessary to quickly remember the basics of a particular subject. With hundreds of acronyms out there, having this reference can save a lot of time. These books are of course obsolete even before they hit the shelves, but in any case, the essentials are covered. It has entries from simple characters (Like *, describing its common use as a wildcard) to technologies that can take hundreds of pages, like ATM,FDDI-II and wireless LANs).Given the very condensed way of exposing the subjects, some explanations are extremely hard to follow unless you have previous knowledge, but if you know what's going on and are just remembering, it's perfect I should have found it earlier. :)
