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.


The END
