Reader Reviews
Delivering Carrier Ethernet is an excellent text on the subject. It is well structured, reviewing Ethernet fundamentals, and providing a templeted view of all the EoEverything technologies, without resorting to detailed protocol analysis. It has a good context of the evolution, and technologies. I've been in the carrier provider business for over twenty years, and this is a good as it gets. Multiple contribuors helps - nobody can be an expert across all these developing areas.
