Switching Technology in the Local Network

Rating:
Summary: Looks to be very Useful in the Computer Classroom.
Review: After reading the summary of this book, I believe it is one that I would want in my arsenal of Computer books while working on the Job. Every student of Computers, and Networking should have a book that will explain the interworkings of Frame Relay and Lans.

Rating:
Summary: Very hard to follow
Review: Lots of technical detail, but with very little explanation of what it means, so much of this book is incomprehensible. Detailed charts are inserted with no discussion of what they represent or how to interpret them.

The portions which explain networking theory and concepts (such as structured cabling and Manchester coding) are valuable, however, but it is so difficult to get through the rest that many readers might never get there.
