5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a "must have" book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wide Area High Speed Networks (Hardcover)
I was one of the technical reviewers of this book. It was pure pleasure reviewing this book.There are two major strengths of this book: First, Dr. Feit has the ability to take an extremely complex idea and break it down into logical components that are understandable by the average networker. You will find the book consistantly using phrases such as "While ..... may seem complicated, it is really quite simple if we look at it like this...." Dr. Feit then shows you a new perspective on the topic that is understandable. Second, this book has the most concise and accurate description of both ISDN and SONET that I have ever seen. While ALL of the areas were well done, I think that these areas are destined to become classics. No, I did not get paid nor requested to write this review.

This book is outstanding!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wide Area High Speed Networks (Hardcover)
This is without a doubt the best book that I have ever seen that deals with wide area networking. Dr. Sidnie Feit is marvelous about providing intelligent and understandable answers to questions that other authors that I have read have simply avoided.The book is valuable on a variety of levels. As an introductory text, the author paints a graphic high level picture of how wide area networks and the underlying telecommunications infrastructure work. But, not only does she do this, she also provides a lot of much more in depth explanation of the underlying technologies and protocols and how they work. As a reader who has gone from a real rookie in this field a year ago, to someone who now has a fair degree of knowledge, I have found this book invaluable. I have read many heavy duty specs during this past year and the perspective that I have gained from this book has made my understanding of them much smoother. I can recommend this book for readers of any level who wish to learn more about this subject. It is suitable for both students and working professionals. I reference it time and time again!
