About the Book
This book contains some new material, and some old. The foundation is a set of blog posts published on Lost in Transit and ‘net Work, edited and extended, so some of these essays will seem familiar if you read either these two blogs. Beyond these, however, there is new material that hasn’t been published before in the same area. Some of this material has been developed from presentations, and some from completely new areas of thought.

Reader Testimonials

Network Consulting Engineer CCIEx2 #42518
Simply outstanding advice from two of the finest engineers I know. The book covers some critical gaps in the network industry and provides non-technical advice on thinking, relationships, analysis, and basically everything else an engineer should care about. I was this book’s first customer and also the first to finish it; I couldn’t put it down! Some of these stories are things you will never hear anywhere else, especially adapted to the networking community.
