IP Address Management, 1st Edition

“The book aims to be a must-to-have reference for every network engineer. Whenever one encounters a networking issue (not only basic), an answer to the question or the information in which RFC the answer is located can be found.” (IEEE Communications Magazine, 1 August 2011)

“This guide to Internet Protocol address management (IPAM) presents a practical, technical overview of each part of the IP environment and provides advice on best practices for creating an effective, integrated management plan … the work includes numerous illustrations and code examples and would be appropriate for advanced computer science students as well as network administrators and designers. Rooney is an IPAM expert and senior director for an IPAM consulting firm.” (Booknews, 1 April 2011)

“Today, there is no single book that covers the management of these linkages and services they provide; IP Address Management Principles and Practice will fill that gap. While several books are available for leading vendors’ DHCP and DNS services implementations, few exist for IP address planning, and none exist that unifies these three topics.” (Security @ ITBusiness Net.com, 28 February 2011)
