From the reviews:
"Rosenberg provides an overview of multicast routing, a technique that is very useful yet not easily deployable on a large scale in today's networks. ... The book includes a list of acronyms and an extensive set of references. ... Therefore, the readers most likely to benefit from it are ... multicast researchers, routing specialists, network developers, and graduate students interested in the topic." (Rita Puzmanova, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2013)
"The overall plan of the book is excellent, starting with a basic overview of what multicast is (and does), including why multicast is more efficient than unicast for multiple receiver traffic streams, and the difference between broadcasting by flooding and the general concept of multicast. Eric builds on this foundation with a chapter on the various types of multicast trees (shared, source, and redundant), along with the accompanying math...If you need a refresher, or you're looking for a good solid overview of the entire multicast space, you'd be hard pressed to find a better book that this one."
