Computer Networks by Andrew Tanenbaum (2002, Hardcover, Subsequent Edition)

Hi,
I read this book more than twice and studied most of the subjects in this book more than once. Had two exams in computer science related to this subjects.
And this is what I think:

What is so good about this book?
*---------------------------------------*
You don't need to have any networks background.
You can find a lot of information about almost all the major things about computer networkings in this book.
This book is a complete computer networks overview.


My Favorites chapters of this book are
*--------------------------*
Chapter 5 THE NETWORK LAYER->
5.2 ROUTING ALGORITHMS
5.3 CONGESTION CONTROL ALGORITHMS
5.6 THE NETWORK LAYER IN THE INTERNET.
Chapter 6 THE TRANSPORT LAYER ->
6.4 THE INTERNET TRANSPORT PROTOCOL: UDP
6.5 THE INTERNET TRANSPORT PROTOCOL: TCP

Other Chapters are also great and they talk about:
Physical layer, data link layer, MAC medium access control sublayer, The Network Layer, The transport Layer, Application layer, Network security.

This book is very good for computer networking wide knowledge, however it does not target a specific subject.

Love the book, it has helped me a lot in my advance networking class. This book comes in handy if you want to know more on the history or want to learn more in networking.

University of London recommends this book as part of our studies (BSc CIS).

- the writing style is extremely friendly and casual.
- the contents quite up-to-date for my purposes.
- This book helps you understand data coms based on the OSI model.

Excellent

as description, very good condition , fast shipping i strongly love it A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The book was lost in the mail, and I promptly received a full refund. Pleasure doing business with you. Thanks!

Great condition, don't care that it doesn't have hard cover it has what i need and that is the material. Rather have this than the hard cover and full price.

This book came in a timely manner. The description that the user gave was pretty close to the actual condition of the book. There wasn't any damage to the book and it was hard cover, as I wanted.

Fast Shipping, very good Item.~I hope we can continue doing business in the future. Thank you very much ~~!

the book was in pretty good condition when I got it.
didn't take too long to get here.
i recommend it if you're trying to buy a textbook or whatever they have.

Fast delivery, Excellant condition product. When i ordered it, it came to my house just 2 or 3 days.

I'm new to networking and this book was exactly what I needed. Other books I've tried reading from book stores either assumed I had a strong background in networking or didn't provide enough detail for me to understand how things worked below the surface. This book has it all.

Looks good & feels good. It's better condition than I thought.
But, the condtion of binding need to improve

I purchase a computer Network book by Andrew Tanenbaum a mounth back which i have since not received.
