Excellent book for broad description of how the Internet works. This book helped me understand both the business models and techologies. It was a great help.

This is a great guide to learn about Internet Architecturs. It is written at a managers level avoiding techno-babble that only an engineer could understand. This book helped me understand what the Internet was and specifically how my company can benefit from Virtual Private Networks (VPN's). I recommend this book strongly and do so to collegues and associates.
Excellent

In this industry, rarely is there time for breathing. The reading that is set aside has to be relevant, concise and informative. The endless barrage of trade rags and informational e-mails can be stifling and counter productive. This book brings everything together, in a calm manner. I cannot recommend this book enough.
