Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This handbook is split up into 10 main sections relating to communication and networks including interfaces, network elements and their protocols together with network operating systems. … It is an excellent resource to students, researchers, teachers in the academic community. … A number of reference materials have been presented as appendices for ready references to researchers and teaching community. As a whole the author has developed a most valuable work for the community who are actively participating for the excellence in teaching and research."
