4.0 out of 5 stars
Gritty and to the point.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Evolving Ethernet (Data Communications and Networks Series) (Hardcover)
If you ever have a insomnia, I would recommend this book to you. However, that aside, as far as information on the IEEE 802.3 standard, this is a good book to start with. It covers in detail: Standardization, OSI, Networks (LAN, MAN, HSLAN, etc.), IEEE 802.3 and ISO 8802-3, CSMA/CD, MAC and LLC (LLC to a lesser degree obviously), internetworking elements (transcievers and the like), cabling issues, 100 MB (802.3u), engineering, bin-hex conversion and HR concerns. A very thorough if dry book. Gave it a four since it missed some important elements such as 802.3z (Gigabit Ethernet) and encapsulation with other areas of the OSI model (eg application layer and routers). This book is primarily a LAN reference.
