4.0 out of 5 stars Very Concise.
A very good explanation of DVMRP, PIM Sparse & Dense. But the book does differ from Cisco's implementation. Particularly with respect to Auto-RP.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it was printed on
The only thing this book is good for is explaining an overview of IP multicasting to a non-technical audience. If you're wanting to learn Multicasting to deploy in a real network, then this isn't the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry Read, September 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco Multicast Routing & Switching (Paperback)
I was extremely disapointed with this book. It was poorly written and not worth the paper it was written on. It appears that Dr. Parkhurst has a limited amount of practical experience. In fact, I ended up throwing this book away.

Beau Williamson's book on Multicasting is a much better read and a whole lot more informative.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book doesn't flow well, October 21, 1999

This review is from: Cisco Multicast Routing & Switching (Paperback)
Although everything is in this book it doesn't flow well and leads to a difficult read. There are too many "cut and paste" definitions from Cisco manuals. I'd wait for the Cisco Press book on Multicasting.
