Packet Cable

This section contains some books that you might find interesting.

I was one of the official reviewers of this book, which is a great discussion about the technicals details of providing telephone service by the cable companies. It has a very good section about security which is important for this type of service. A great book for anyone who wants or needs to learn about IP Telephony over a shared network.
