Summary: An excellent book in Home Networking technology
Review: A very good comprehensive book, that covers all current and emerging home networking technologies. It covers both the access and the in-door networks, along with networks that reuse existing home cabling, wireless and wireline technologies. Apart from the lower layer protocols (IEEE 802.11, Firewire, USB, Bluetooth, DECT, X10) it also explains higher layer protocols (HomePNA, OSGi, UPnP, HAVI, and VHN). It explains how the technologies work, how they have developed, their capabilities and the markets that they target.
