Acknowledgments

Special thanks to the technical reviewers, Asier Arlegui and Celia Ortega Gomez, who contributed to a substantial increase in quality not only with their corrections but also suggestions to the content of this book. Also, special thanks to Pedro Marques, Pedro Trigueira, and Miguel Santos for their guidance and advice throughout the process. I would like to thank my former and my current leadership at Cisco, Stefaan de Haan, Mark Perry, Carlos Pignataro, Adele Trombeta, and Steve Pickavance, for supporting me during the lengthy process of writing a book.

This book wouldn't have been possible without the support of many people on the Cisco Press team. Brett Bartow, Director, Pearson IT professional Group, was instrumental in sponsoring the book and driving it to execution. Eleanor Bru, Development Editor, has done an amazing job in the technical review cycle, and it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Also, many thanks to the numerous Cisco Press unknown soldiers working behind the scenes to make this book happen.
