Voice and Data Internetworking

I normally do not write reviews but when I noted a person said this book was for a 'housewife' and gave it one star I thought something was amiss. I found this book to be very practical, with numerous examples that show 'how to do it.' I purchased other books on this topic and found them to be filled with standards literature from the ITU. Thus, I was perplexed how someone could rate this book with one star when its significantly better that the others that spend most pages repeating ITU specifications.

I was impressed that the author covered many key implementation issues throughout the book. This was really helpfull as I'm in the process of developing an integrated solution for my company.

I found this book to be a most practical guide to implementing voice over an IP network. In the book the author shows over 20 techniques, many of which are not obvious till you think about them that shows how to make voice a reality. I especially appreciated the authors insight concerning reconfiguring a router's access list. Its obvious the author really knows networking and shows his real life examples through numerous examples in the book.
