2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly competent but pretty confusing, September 11, 1998

This review is from: Network Management Standards: SNMP, CMIP, TMN, MIBs and Object Libraries (McGraw-Hill Computer Communications Series) (Hardcover)

Black does a reasonably good job of selecting relevant content, but reading this book is difficult. There are numerous typos - some of them in crucial diagrams - and the writing style is dense and unclear, often leaving you pondering a sentence for hours because you feel that it's important but have no idea what it means. A much better resource for this subject is Stallings, "SNMP, SNMPv2, and CMIP: The Practical Guide to Network-Management Standards". Unfortunately, that is out of print, and I don't know if Stallings has superseded it with any of his numerous other books.

This review is from: Network Management Standards: SNMP, CMIP, TMN, MIBs and Object Libraries (McGraw-Hill Computer Communications Series) (Hardcover)

Good to have a general idea and litle know how of the diferents network Standarts. Easy reading and very well explained, but who expected to see all the standards Specification's it's not there, try ITU-T papers.
