Creating a large scale WAN is not an easy subject to tackle. Dooley's accessible writing style helps the reader to understand the basic concepts first, before explaining higher level counterparts. In this age of CCNA's, MCSE's, and other acronyms, it is refreshing to see a vendor neutral approach to the subject. Not only does he use real world examples, but he shares some of his own experiences and info on best practices, which is invaluable for a network designer.


I found Dooley's use of mathetical equations over the top but I'm sure that there are some geeks out there who would love them. Too bad he did not include some samples of his documentation as an appendix. Overall a decent practical read.
