"The Switch Book" by Rich Seifert " is very good. But there are a lot
new features developed after that book published. Does Rich have any
plan for next edition?
or any new switch book covered more last five years technology?

Thanks your advice,
steve

I have discussed doing a second edition with my publisher, to cover
exactly the sort of things the poster implies: RSTP, MSTP,
Authentication, Provider Bridges, etc. Unfortunately, my current time
commitments prevent me from working on this project, but that may change
over the next year. I don't know of any single book today that
adequately covers the developments in switch technology over the past 5
years; most of the information may be available only from the standards
themselves, or from various "white papers" and similar vendor
documentation.

I find that in general, there is a dearth of REALLY good technical
books. Too bad really. I hope you find the time to write the second
edition!
