Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet: United States Edition

The book is all time favorite. Well organised, easy to understand for beginner and major topics are well covered. What I most like is it's top to down approach, which will never let you to lose interest.I ordered a hardcover 2nd hand imported 3rd edition of the book at INR 477/- (Free Shipping) only. I got the book just new like. Although shipping was very slow and the book was packed inside a single plastic, I didn't expect anything more in this price. It took 2 weeks to arrive, but the seller fixed deadline too far, so it was in time. Till now this is the best ever 2nd hand book purchase in my life.

Excellent delivery-before time! Appreciate the good work done by the seller.

nice

its a computer networking text book, and quite outdated

Got this for a college class. Actually needed 5th edition, but for the most part, this is the same book (some of the questions at the end of the chapter are different). For the most part though, the chapters themselves are the same, so it is nice to have a second book so that I can leave one at work and read during my lunch hour without carrying it back and forth. The author is fairly clear, though some of the metaphors are a little strange.

This was probably one of my favorite classes in school. The book is well written and covers a lot of material. The author does a good job of breaking up difficult material into easy concepts.This is not a "Dummies"-type book, but absolutely one of the best college texts I've ever read.

This is a good introductory book. It gives board coverage of all important areas of computer networking. Easy to read and it has been kept up-to-date with every edition with the changes in the field.My minor complaints are (i) that each chapter is quite long; (ii) it gets overly wordy at times but it does help to reinforce what you just learned; (iii) it is hard to review the material (after you have read through it once) because too many materials are crammed into each topic.

I found this book the best reference yet that I have come across to give a person a great deal of knowledge in a rapid and easy to understand format. It deals with internet protocols and other networking principles -- it is a great book to start with.One of my favourite recommendations
