Title: Lots of information, but badly presented. Don't bother.
Product review: Held obviously knows his stuff -- this book contains a lot of detail on various networking technologies. However, he seems to have a hard time presenting the information in a readable and coherent way. In many sections, if you didn't already know the stuff then reading the book wouldn't make you much wiser. Protocols are discussed in bits scattered over different chapters, making it hard to follow.The book also suffers from terrible graphics, which look like they came out of a dot-matrix printer.In general, the book won't be useful to as a learning tool -- consider it only as a reference.
