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."
