I am in discussions with the publisher of "The Switch Book" aimed at
creating a revised, second edition of that work. I would be interested
to hear what changes you think need to be made to bring the book
up-to-date.
Of course, any such revision would correct all known errors, and
generally provide an editorial "freshening up." Obvious additional
material includes RSTP and MSTP, and more depth on multi-layer
switching, but I would like to hear what else people working in the
field are looking for. The people in this NG are an important segment of
the target readership.
Also, I welcome your input as to whether the chapters "Bridging Between
Technologies" (Chapter 3, on the problems of bridging among Ethernet,
Token Ring and FDDI) and "Source Route Bridging" (Chapter 6) should be
discarded, moved to an Appendix, or left as they are, with a note about
their purely historical importance.
I make no promises as to what material will be added, or whether a
second edition will even be produced, but I thought I would take this
opportunity to get input from the people that actually use my books
before signing off on a Table of Contents for a revised edition.
Feel free to respond either on the newsgroup, or via private email.
Thank you all in advance.
