4.0 out of 5 stars
good start to this field,
By
This review is from: Voice Over IP Crash Course (Paperback)
VoIP is becoming ever more popular. Indeed, there are predictions that ultimately most of conventional phone calls will be transmitted in this manner. So you may well be tempted to learn it. If you already have a good background in communications and networking, then Shepard's book might be a useful choice. He gives a cram course that covers the essentials in a rapid fashion.
But the discussion is technically accurate. Be aware that it is not the easiest of reads, if you don't already have that strong background. Though no earlier experience with VoIP is assumed. If you do find the book useful, you ultimately may well need a more comprehensive text. Just so you know. But Shepard is a good start to the field.
3.0 out of 5 stars
