3.0 out of 5 stars
Dated but useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Video Dialtone Technology: Digital Video over Adsl, Hfc, Fttc, and Atm (McGraw-Hill Series on Computer Communications) (Hardcover)
This book provides VERY useful technical models for creating a video server architecture in 1995. Too bad its the year 2000 and many of the price/performance numbers of the hardware used in the models is woefully out of date. I look forward to an updated version.
