I was looking for a resource to get up to speed on capabilities, options and configurations as my company is facing decisions in this area. This book does an excellent job providing background and bringing you right up to where broadband networks stand today. As my company and customers are spreadout, we are interested in video and telephony over the net and the book has complete coverage of "triple play" scenarios with multiple vendors. This is a very useful resource.
