Acknowledgments

Ido Dubrawsky:

To Paul Grey, for being a wonderful coauthor with me on this project. If you hadn't signed on to this, Paul, I certainly wasn't going to do it alone!

To Michelle Grandin, Acquisitions Editor, who must have been biting her nails until the last day, hoping I would get all of the chapters done on time. Also thanks for finding me my coauthor. Sorry for the added stress, and thanks for sticking with me.

To David Phillips, for hiring me at Cisco Systems, Inc., and letting me work with an exceptionally talented bunch of guys in the Cisco Secure Consulting Service.

To Brian Ford, for making me laugh and for being a good friend when I needed to rant and rave.

To Jason Halpern, for putting up with delays on the Layer 2 whitepaper while we moved from Austin to Silver Spring, and for helping to open my eyes to a much wider picture than what I had been seeing by asking me to work in the SAFE architecture group.

To Greg Abelar, my friend and co-SAFE architect, for being willing to edit this manuscript. Also, thanks to Steve Hanna and Michael Overstreet for providing additional eyes to go over this material.

To David Lesnoy, for being a great friend and a good listener when I needed to get away from this project.
