1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By jhoward@norcontel.ie (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Multimedia Communications Networks Technologies and Services (Artech House Telecommunications Library) (Hardcover)
This book is a disappointment, while it is well written, with a clear presentation, it does not address what I really wanted to know about multimedia and its impact on networks. It you want a good overview of LAN, ATM, and other network technology as well as operations and maintenance, this is a useful source. However it fails to address the key issue, how will multimedia shape and change existing and developing networks. The books omits or treats in a perfunctory manner several vital areas such as digital video broadcasting as well as Cable TV networks, while DAVIC is merely skimmed over. Overall the impression is given that the books is simple a detailed review of network technology with the word "multimedia" inserted into the title of each chapter.
5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a very good book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Multimedia Communications Networks Technologies and Services (Artech House Telecommunications Library) (Hardcover)
This book fully achieves its stated objectives, by providing a comprehensive single-source of information on technologies, services and standardization issues related to the support of multimedia on existing and emerging communication networks.The book is well written, very clear, and treats the various subjects with adequate depth. I find the book very useful for graduate students, and I use it as bibliography in one of the graduate courses on Informatics Engineering that I teach at my university.
