5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful, practical, all-emcompasing reference,
By Priscilla Oppenheimer (Ashland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Network Architecture and Development Series: Designing Routing and Switching Architectures (Hardcover)
Delightful might seem like a strange word to describe a technical book, but it's exactly what I mean to say. I find myself being delighted with Howard's unique way of presenting the essence of a network technology. I hear myself say "ah hah, that's what all that incomprehensible text in those other books meant!" Howard uses analogies and real-life examples to ensure that the reader really understands the basics and the details. Great book for learning routing and switching architecture design.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent concepts oriented book,
By jdwyer (San Bruno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Network Architecture and Development Series: Designing Routing and Switching Architectures (Hardcover)
I really like this book. Despite a slight tendancy to ramble, Berkowitz style is very enjoyable, humourous at times, and he explains everything in detail. This is a book geared towrds understanding the concepts of routing and switching, rather than analyzing everything from the manufacturers viewpoint. As a result, you get a firm understanding of the fundamentals. Where appropriate, he does discuss manufacturer specific design/philosphy (e.g. cisco, nortel, etc.), but for the most part it's completely independent of that. Hence, this is useful regardless of what gear you're using. This is a must for every network engineer's library.

Wow,
This review is from: Network Architecture and Development Series: Designing Routing and Switching Architectures (Hardcover)
This book is incredible. Howard speaks with a voice of absolute authority. He presents all sides of the issues and leaves the reader to come to his/her own conclusions. He is obviously a master of his craft, and reading this book is sheer pleasure. It would be a fantastic book if it was comprised of dry text and facts, but that's far from the case: this book was written by a man who understands the writer's prerogative to keep his audience awake and entertained. To my knowledge a better book on network design does not exist. Highest recommendation.
