Summary: OBTUSE ESSAY OF NETWORKING ESSENTIALS
Review: The compilation entitled "Implementing Cisco VPNs" was a rather disappointing choice of technical literature. A significant amount of text was devoted to development of PPTP services and related Microsoft networking concepts. Although this information may have value at some fundamental level, it really serves to deliver deminishing impact when constructing environments of highly scalable architecture and elevated security requirements. The chapter on Dial-up networking presented an anomaly with respect to concept flow. Information of greater value may be found free of charge on Cisco's website.
