2008-09-24, Amazon, need it to do my CS6262 homework bah. Then again, Radia Perlman is a real American badass, almost certainly the best female networking specialist (who could begin to compete? Sally Floyd maybe?) currently or in history -- Interconnections blew me away, and I'm willing to risk a used purchase with her name on it. We'll see...

btw, "The Radia Perlman Series on Networking and Network Security"? Is that really necessary?

This book provides an approachable way to understanding and explaining network security.

This book is one of my all-time favorites, probably because I read it right after my first course in group theory and Galois fields and was so excited to see the real-world applications of all the theory I'd been digesting.

I found the writing to be humorous, engaging, and easy to understand.
