Praise for Peer to Peer

“The author has given a well-written and comprehensive overview of several representative peer-to-peer technologies. It is diligently researched and gives a lot of insights into a little-understood subject.”

——Erik Möller, Scientific Review Service and infoAnarchy.org

“Interesting topic, well organized, engagingly written, excellent illustrations; a good read. I think it does a particularly good job of balancing technical, functional, business, and legal information, and presenting it in a way that is useful for both executive and technical people (which is no mean feat).”

——Mitchel Ahern, Director, Business Development, AdTools Inc./SonyMusic

“It is technical enough that the reader can actually implement or model the methods used in the text. However, it is not presented at such a high level that nontechnical users would get lost in the math.”

——Austin David, Sr. Systems Architect, Wink Communications, Inc.

“Peer to Peer offers a contemporary and intelligent insight into the popular technologies that are the building blocks of p2p. It cuts through the media controversy and is a useful resource for exploring these technologies. This book was a pleasant change of pace from my day-to-day technical reading.”

——John Wegis, Engineering Manager, Kana Software, Inc.
