Title: too superficial
Product review: The author has been actively involved in networking research for a long time. I bought his book hoping to gain some insight. Instead, I found it quite disappointing. The content is too superficial. I am actually not sure what audience this book is targeting. For me, I am looking for in depth analysis, at the least, it should provide good reference for each topic covered so that I have a starting point if I want to go to detail. For a person looking for basic understanding, this book also tries to go to too much detail, for example, on how each protocol works. I think he is just trying to fill the pages. I did not proof read it on purpose, but at least one reference (I happen to be familiar with it) is totally wrong. The paper is talking about routing prefix expansion, but he quoted them totally wrong.
