Rating: Summary: All router people should have this book Review: If you have to buy only one book on networking, this should be the one. This is a reference book used by the Router Support teams at most major manufacturers.
Rating: Summary: If I could, I would replace all rfcs with this book. Review: If you're into learning the underlying concepts of some of the most used protocols (ip, icmp, udp, and all those encapsulated in the aforementioned ones), there's no way around it! I've bought this book as soon as a friend of mine told me the following, which I'll quote "If you want to become a ninja in TCP/IP, you'll likely need to have this book at hand."; I found the book quite annoying in the beginning, due to the simple fact that I had recently read the book "O'reilly: TCP/IP Network Administration". I've dropped reading this one for like 2 months, and when I've started reading it back, It all went so utterly better. The book covers a lot of protocols, one of which I found very useful was DNS, because the available RFC's were generally not-so-easy(tm) to follow and understand; and after reading the chapter on DNS, It all turned to be much more simple than I found it be when reading the relevant RFC's. The book is a definitive guide for anyone, and should be used as such, for coverage and implementation you should read the book entitled "UNIX Network Programming" by the same author, Mr. W. Stevens (which unfortunately has passed away)
Rating: Summary: Is this good for MCSE study prep? Review: Is this book good if I want to study for the MCSE TCP/IP exam? I can't find a good one which covers Windows NT 4.0.
Rating: Summary: Very Informative Review: It is a very helpful source. Although there are so many books about TCP/IP, this is one of the best written especially for readers with basic TCP/IP knowledge and application protocols such as FTP, TELNET..To make more out of this book, it should be accompanied with Volume 3.
Rating: Summary: I've owned this book for years and still use it often Review: Its said that a well designed product is one that is not only of immediate benefit to the user, but also one that grows in sophistication with the user, to a point where its functionality evolves over time to become a part of the user.I bought my first copy of this book years ago. I forget how many copies I've had over the years. I've bought copies for countless young protocol engineers and support fellows. I crack this baby open almost weekly.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: No other book takes such a comprehensive look into the TCP/IP protocol stack. This was the first book out of four that I read, and I felt like an expert after reading just this one!
Rating: Summary: Not exhaustive Review: Not a very exhaustive treatment of the protocols, esp. TCP. Leaves a lot of gaps like not explaining the SND, RCV & SEG variables & how they are used for error checking. You will find the RFCs alot more exhaustive & they come free of cost.
Rating: Summary: The ONLY book for TCP/IP Review: Plain Text, Clear explaination, Good Coverage These factors lead this book to be the best book of TCP/IP, without this book, TCP/IP would not be a easy stuff for networking people. All stuff in TCP/IP were covered in this book. I would like to call this book 'BOOK OF NETWORKING PROTOCOL', most of the stuff were clearly explained, by the plain text, examples, captured results, I think this book is really illustrated. No matter for newbies or expert in networking, this book is suitable for you. The only I could say is 'Read it'.
Rating: Summary: If you really wanna know about TCP/IP Review: Read this book. this book is not "recommend" this book is "essential"! Need I say more? :)
