Un excelente libro del protocolo IS-41, gradual en su presentación. No entra al detalle de los bytes. Mantiene un muy buen nivel, con claros ejemplos. He preparado un buen curso de este protocolo a partir de este y otros libros

This review is from: Mobile Telecommunications Networking With Is-41 (Mcgraw-Hill Series on Telecommunications) (Hardcover)

The book is an easily understood reference for anyone that works with SS7 and ANSI-41. The book is packed will drawings and pratical examples. It is detailed enough that most people could avoid buying the >$1000 ANSI publication
