It is usually at this point that the book dissolves into a maze of twisty little formulae and acronyms, all alike. It is, therefore, appropriate that bridges and routers should have a book all to themselves. This is a thorough examination and presentation of the concepts of, and problems in, the interconnection of networks. It deals primarily with the contructs and algorithms at what would generally be seen as an academic level. There is much practical information, but for the system designer of routers, rather than the system administrator. The academic appearance is heightened by the presence of homework and exercise questions at the end of every chapter. For those already working in the field, these likely would provide a means of self-study and self-assessment. copyright Robert M.
