5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional book for TCP/IP novices, April 15, 2000

By	Jason Keyes (New Bedford, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TCP/IP Addressing: Designing and Optimizing Your IP Addressing Scheme (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book if you work in I.S., support servers or database systems, and want to know about TCP/IP subnetworking.

My situation three years ago:

I was an OpenVMS M/SQL systems manager put in an awkward position of constantly having my projects delayed and aborted because the network engineers I worked with did not understand IP well enough to support my organizations' network. It was a Friday, and I was working on an important project that needed to be done by Monday. The network engineers had completely let me down -- they boggled a router configuration and addressesing scheme and blamed it on the me and the phone company! I went to the local bookstore, picked this book up, and (with this book) I was able to fumble my way through a the design of a small subnetwork and router configuration by Monday. Within a few months, I took over their responsibilities.

Since then, I've become CCNA-certified, a full-fledged network engineer, and have seen incredible career-growth. None of this would have been possible if not for this most excellent introductory book. It was very easy to read, even for a subnetworking-ignorant fool (at the time) like myself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deffinitly a selection for beginners, October 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: TCP/IP Addressing: Designing and Optimizing Your IP Addressing Scheme (Paperback)

The author positions the book as a IP numbering system for enterprize networks and it is not. Graham spends half of the book explaining what an IP datagram is and what it is used for and the other half of the book is very basic IP numbering theory. Basically if your in charge of the ip numbering of an "Enterprize Network" and anything in this book is new to you then your in over your head.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent 'how-to' tome on a very difficult subject, January 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: TCP/IP Addressing: Designing and Optimizing Your IP Addressing Scheme (Paperback)

The book provides confidence and integrity in an enlightening array of subjective entries. The author leads an impressive set of credentials to the reader with first person comfort. The format allows entry-level students of the subject matter enough leeway to follow a suggested path to better design of networks by first considering the 'Addressing' issues.
