I have read some parts of this book. I was able to find everything in my field(Multimedia networking) that I was looking for; But unfortunately the book isn't discussing anything in depth. It is not easy to read, but well-organized. I think this book is more useful for teachers than for students. Generally speaking, If you are already familiar with multimedia internetworking issues you will find this book a very good and useful text; But if you are new to these issues, you may be better to study other texts in parallel.

I have studied this book in a graduate level networking course, where unfortunately they use this as a text book. This is a good book, but it does not offer any in-depth treatment like some other books do, nor is readable. It is more like "old Tanenbaum" with a mass of prose.

The book needs editing, by making it less verbose, a bit formal, and add some analytical/mathematical examples....

...I have read this book for an advanced networking course, where unfortunately, they use this as a text book. This is a good book, no doubt about that - but, the book covers nothing in depth (as the other reviewer has pointed out) and lacks readability. It is like old Tanenbaum's book where everything is prose, there are no problems and lacks any analytical treatment. The discussion could be made less verbose and more formal.
