I find the book very good. It does gives a good introduction into the usage of VPN. However there is still some printing errors and some terms are not defined. E.g. Pg 13 the figure title does not really match the the description on pg. 12. There is also a print error such as Snmer instead of summer. The book is easy to read. It does not discuss too much into detail on the implentation and technical but a general view. It is very adequate and appropriate for VPN beginner . However if the author could provide some gllossary for the abbreviations used would be helpful. For example RADIUS is used throughout the book wiithout explaining what it is.

When I peurchased this book I was already involved in the deployment of virutal private networks for my organization. I regret that I did not have this book in my possession prior to engaging in such work. Having such knowledge beforehand may have elimenated much frustration and misunderstanding in the implementation of the service. I found the explanations of the various technologies involved were clear and concise. The rationale behind virtual private networks was presented evenly for both service provider and enterprise customer. I would recommend this book to anyone as an introductory lesson in VPNs.

This is a very good overview/introduction of the VPN world. It targets business and product managers. I particularly liked the overview section. The book is well-written in the sense that it is easy to read and comprehend. It is not a programmer's reference.
