Product Description

Big Book of IPsec RFCs: IP Security Architecture is a compilation of Requests for Comments (RFCs) on Internet Protocol Security Architecture (IPsec) that will spare readers the enormous time and confusion encountered wading through RFCs online.
This means that the reader no longer has to wade through countless RFCs trying to find an answer to a question - all answers to IPsec questions are compiled in a single book, and the index makes them even easier to locate.

Key Features
* Readers will quickly and easily access just what they're looking for, in a single book with an extensive index
* Includes a definition of terms from the RFCs and an overview of the history, goals, objectives, and strategies used to build IPsec

5.0 out of 5 stars A really cool idea, January 28, 2000

By A Customer

A lot of people probably figure, why spend the $s for a book that's mostly RFCs--after all, they're all available online for nothing. But if you've ever spent much time working with RFCs, you probably also have a ton of them printed out and filled with Post-IT notes (like I do). It's definitely worth it to have them all printed and bound AND INDEXED. I wish I'd a thought of doing this.

4.0 out of 5 stars No more loose pages!, January 19, 2000

By	P. Salus (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the past decade or so, my desk has been inundated by laser-printed RFCs. Picked up from the IETF site. Loose, frequently out of numerical order, and impossible to handle. Now Pete Loshin has assembled all the important security RFCs in a large, handy book. It's both well laid-out and handy. There might have been a bit more introductory material, but the accessibility of the RFCs makes this a must have. And I can recycle over a thousand sheets of paper.
