Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is a disappointment, while it is well written, with a clear presentation, it does not address what I really wanted to know about multimedia and its impact on networks. It you want a good overview of LAN, ATM, and other network technology as well as operations and maintenance, this is a useful source. However it fails to address the key issue, how will multimedia shape and change existing and developing networks.The books omits or treats in a perfunctory manner several vital areas such as digital video broadcasting as well as Cable TV networks, while DAVIC is merely skimmed over.Overall the impression is given that the books is simple a detailed review of network technology with the word "multimedia" inserted into the title of each chapter.
Is the review positive or negative?
