Customer Reviews

Useful, but not up to date - needs new edition!

I bought this book hoping to gain insight into state of the art IP multicasting. While it does provide much detail on the spread of technologies and protocols available, and was a very useful reference text, I noticed that it didn't make mention of some of the more up to date developments and resolutions in this domain.In short, worthy of a read for an introduction or recent history up to 2-3 years ago, but not much use to me in order to make critical decisions for my own multicast application project.

No other book has this information

This book is great! No other book that I can think of has all this information. It is well-rounded and contains a great deal of material on multicasting, even some of the emerging "not quite dry yet" technologies.

One-stop shopping

This book is a "soup to nuts" compilation of multicasting technologies. It contains a lot of information for the reader. It's a good book for someone who would like to find the information in one-stop.

Very current

This is a very current up to date book on the going's on with IP multicast protocols. It is well written and organized well. By being up to date and in depth, it is a competitive offering.
