| | Review of Carrier Scale IP networks: designing and operating internet networks (Ed: Peter Willis) - The IET (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | When I first glanced at this book, I thought it said 'Carrier pigeon IP networks'- there is a spoof RFC (the standards document series for the Internet) about IP over avian carriers, and I wondered whether someone had taken that too seriously! |
 | | A 'how to' for one of the most exciting hi-tech business areas of the last two decades, it's divided into five main areas: an introduction to IP, designing and building IP networks, transmission and access networks, operations and maintenance, and the development of future networks. |
 | | The clear chapters on IP address management and peering will be an enlightnement to those of us who are just plain vanilla end-users. |
