This book has been touted as the 21st-century upgrade to the classic TCP/IP Illustrated (by Richard W. Stevens), a series which has held a prominent place on the shelves of many a network administrator for the last decade. These are big boots to fill, but Practical TCP/IP does an impressive job. In over 800 pages of well-organized and well-illustrated text, there is no fat, but rather a lean and -- yes -- practical treatment of every major TCP/IP networking concept.A" You won't find a better TCP/IP book!A" Covers TCP/IP and networking in general tremendously. The beginning of each chapter can be read by a newbie/undergraduate very easily, and by the ends of chapters you are treated to rocket science. Just stop reading when you can't take any more in. And the second time you read it further develop your knowledge.A" Accuracy is superb - written by someone obviously knowledgable in the subject, and able to communicate this knowledge extremely effectively.A" It cannot be emphasized enough that this is a hands-on book, not just a paper tiger. The key difference between it and TCP/IP Illustrated is that Practical TCP/IP walks the reader through detailed exercises at every step of the way. It shows real tools in use, making it easy for the beginner and even the experienced reader to learn new techniques quickly and interactively.A" This book is an excellent book for taking your computer networking career from mediocre to top notch. Excellent advice on designing, using and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks.A"
