The Internet and Its Protocols: A Comparative Approach (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)
"Not only is this book thorough in covering the networking technologies and the applications of today's communications networks, it also guides you to comprehensive understanding of problems and solutions. This should be mandatory reading for every professional in our business."--Loa Andersson, TLA-group, IETF MPLS working group co-chair."Before this book, one would need to search through dozens of resources to find such a complete picture of the common Internet protocols. I for one will be keeping a copy of this book on my desk, as well as making this text required reading in the networking courses I teach."--Thomas D.
