5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly set the network concepts
Reviewed in the United States on 13 March 2010

This book gave me the opportunity to finally understand some concepts I was a little confused before. It is clear, with very well updated techonologies. If someone have the basic concepts and wants to accommodate and understand other techonologies or systems IP based, this is a very good book. It has some little tips to clarify how all IP/network concepts work together.

The are no many books trying to explain how to design a network, either for enterprise or ISP. It issues some fundamental concepts in that sense, all from a practical point of view. If you want to go more in depth after that, try other books to complement.

This book is must read for any networking/data communications amateur and specialist! I thought it was very expensive and only bought it because it is a required text for a course in Data Communications that I am pursuing. Having read it, I am not disappointed.

It is written in a language that makes it easy to understand. There are lots of exercises, case studies and hands and labs that help to reinforce the knowledge. Excellent book!

Got a used version of the textbook for just $4.24, plus the promotional two day shipping for college students. Although it was a lower edition that I needed for class, it was pretty much identical. Very good condition for a used textbook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced
Reviewed in the United States on 17 February 2011

I was very dissapointed in this book. It seems to get a new revision every 2 years or less, which is fine for a networking book. After all, the field of networking changes quickly. However, there were many errors in the book. Had they been typos in areas that were recently updated, that would be understandable. But these were errors in the "history" section of the book. By the 10th! edition you should have that much figured out. The history hasn't changed. Furthermore, despite frequent reprinting, the book does not appear to be very current. It still talks about thin-net cable as if it is moderatly mainstream. It seems to suggest that fiber may someday actually become a common medium, and we might see gigabit over copper become popular. This is all pretty old hat! It makes 1.5 mb DSL seem like a miracle. Overall, not a bad book, but if they are going to kill the used market by reprinting every 2 years, then they owe it to their customers to actually update the book.
