Expanding his , Black focuses on the Internet and private internets in relation to the support of voice traffic. He introduces the topic to readers who already have a solid grounding both in voice and data communications and in the Internet protocol suite. He does however include several tutorials. He writes as an intermediate-to-advanced technical level, but does not provide enough detail to allow readers to design a system alone. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
