Title: A rushed-to-print rip-off of a book.
Product review: This book was a real disappointment to me. The blurb and the included CD (advertised as containing utilities and white papers) persuaded me to buy it. The book has a rushed-to-print feel about it and could have benefited from tighter editing (e.g. it talks about the use of "ATMs" in networking--OK perhaps if you run a banking network!). Many of the figures are simply Powerpoint slides which look as though they were included to fill space. The CD only contains some vendor marketing presentations--no white papers, no utilities. I would have liked to see more about present and developing VoIP standards and competing technologies and less about the various underlying transports. The book could be more technical as well. In short, definitely not worth the price.
