Summary: Great Introduction to Networking Concepts
Review: Rather than simply regurgitating the details of the most popular networking protocols, the authors of this book emphasize the fundamental concepts and theory of networking. These fundamentals lay the groundwork for understanding the details of standard protocols or even writing proprietary protocols. Current protocols are also explained, but by explaining communications in general rather than focusing on specifics, this book lays the foundation of understanding future networks as well as present ones.
