    This book is very well written and detailed. Unlike some other book I've read, this one I can actually stay focused and keep interest while studying the subject.

    5.0 out of 5 stars for undergraduate class
    Reviewed in the United States on 23 January 2011

    This was for my communications networks class. We went through a majority of the book (ch 1-8). I feel like it's already getting outdated (c)2004. But it gives a good introductory explanation of a huge variety of topics. I like the topic so reading the book was actually enjoyable unlike other engineering textbooks. It's not that long winded.
    The homework problems included are pretty hard and sometimes the wording was confusing. A couple times we had to look up things on the internet. And the solution manuals were sort of ambiguous on the method to solve the problems. The appendix has some good formulas.
    There's also a pdf ebook out there too. That makes things convenient.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory Reading for Anyone studying Network Communications
    Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2014

    Over 10 years ago, Dr. Leon-Garcia wrote the epitimal tome on computer networks, and it is still mandatory reading at the graduate level. The material within is starting to show its age. Most of it's very historical, what the modern comm systems are based on. If he ever writes a next edition, I hope he adds something about modern wifi.
