Customer Reviews

Excellent introduction to H323 architecture.

This book has definitely provided me a solid background in H323.In addition, it is a very useful reference, for example, I wasable to follow the call setup and media setup packet flow of an IP phone captured via a protocol analyzer(ethereal), thanks to the very clear illustrations. This is definitely a must for network administrators/managers considering a multimedia network implementation.

Much Needed

This is a treasure of H.323, VOIP information! Excellent protocol information. This is no paper weight, gathering dust! I use the book and I'm glad to have it on my shelf.

Best H.323 book on the market

This is by far the most comprehensive book on the market. I agree with the previous review, IP Telephony with H.323 is for advanced uses and a great reference guide as well. I highly recommend it if you want a thorough understand H.323 and IP Telephony, however, if you wish to learn about a particular subject, for example QoS or MPLS, this book will not provide enough detailed information (check out Cisco Press).Must buy!

No more secrets and confusion about H.323!

If you are confused about H.323 and are looking for a book that explains this intricate, convoluted standard, then you are looking at the right book. As an individual who has been involved with the standard from the early days I am very happy that there is finally a book that completely covers the standard in a language that is understood by everyone. This is a wonderful book.

Good Book for advanced Users
