a book on such advanced topics with no bibliography

I must admit that I am very disappointed with this book.

Being somebody who worked in some of the areas, I find most of the definitions and discussions in the book far from being precise, and incomplete. The author tries to cover too much, but in my opinion fails to do so. It just touches some technologies.

My biggest surprise was to see a book of such advanced topics with no references, or bibliograpghy, apart from some ITU Specs or IETF docs inserted into the text. The author probably has a lot of knowledge in a lot of areas, but the book should be able to point towards the real source of the information or provide pointers for more interested readers.

I must admit that I consider the money I spent on this book wasted.

I personally would have liked to see a preface, and read about the aim, intended audience of this book.
