Comment from the author
I have received and viewed several comments about my book - some good and some bad. I will be the first to tell you that the book is technically sound, but my grammar was less than spectacular. I have spent a great deal of time working with IPSec and various vendors developing IPSec solutions and products. From this experience I felt compelled to write about IPSec and the idiosyncrasies it demands.
If you expect a technical guide on IPSec, this is the book for you. It details the protocol and provides insight into the diverse security characteristics IPSec employs. If you decide to venture into this book I truly hope you enjoy reading about this interesting technology as much as I did writing about it.
Please feel free to send me your comments... good and bad :)

very poorly written
One of the most poorly written books I've ever read.
For example, on page 4, the acronym PIN is spelled out (Personal Identification Number -- duh), but the acronyms CHAP and PAP are used in the next paragraph with no discussion -- plus you don't need to know them for another 100 pages anyway. Page after page are likely this -- very frustrating to try to read.
Consider "Virtual Private Networks" by Yuan and Strayer.
