This is a must-have book for whoever wish to understand the concept of IP addressing; from ground up to intermediate level. Highly focused and concise.

This is an awesome job of clearly explaining and troubleshooting most of the key IP issues. I bought it primarily for the coverage of NAT and it was thorough. If you've tried to figure this stuff out based on reading RFC, this book will be a relief.

Not really very much more to say. If you need to know about IP addressing and subnetting get it here. A cover to cover read in two weeks and never forgotten!

Although the large text font (and relatively large price) suggests ulterior motives by the publisher, IP Addressing is a decent reference for subnetting and network addressing.

The language is kept fairly high-level, and most of the explanations are clearly written--if a little terse--with a fair number of tables and charts making the book accessible for both novices and more advanced users alike.

Since there are scant few books out there that are specifically dedicated to IP administration, this book exists as a viable option for system admins and curious readers.

This book has answered questions I have had for a long time. A great read for those of you who are lost in the maze of TCPIP. Very clear and complete. Great section on routing protocols for beginners.

Wegner brings a clarity to the topic that I have long been looking for. A great read for those of you who are lost in the maze of TCPIP. Very clear and complete. Great section on routing protocols for beginners. When will Wegner write some more?

This book covers every aspect of the current version, as well as what will be a widespread migration starting in late 1999. These include: increasing the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits; supporting more levels of addressing hierarchy and an increased number of addressable nodes; supporting simpler auto-configuration of addresses; improving the scalability of multicast routing by adding a "scope" field to multicast addresses; and using a new "anycast address" to send a packet to any one of a group of nodes. As in other Syngress books, this one makes a complex subject accessible by including appendices, summaries, extensive art, and detailed indexes. This book should have been there in your shelf!

This was very helpful in my recent Networking class, I ended the class with an "A" with the help of this book. IP Addressing explained every step in the IP Addressing, ANDing, and Subnetting process.

I am deploying an IPv6 test scheme for an ISP now and this is very helpful. I didn't read the non-IPv6 chapters yet, but I assume they are OK.
