2.0 out of 5 stars Almost, but not quite there....., March 16, 2006
I purchased this book for a class I was taking. It was the required text for the class. I have 15 years experience in network design and administration and recently returned to school to earn a second degree. I found this text to be overly technical for its intended audience, and would not recommend it to any instructor. Also the accompanying test bank from which an instructor can pull quiz/test questions are absolutely horrible and only serve to confuse students trying to learn.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginner level, June 28, 2009
the book Business Data Communication and Networking is a good book for people that is getting into networking. People will probably learn the basic skills to be a network manager, how the information travel in a network, and many more interesting subjects about networking.

I will recommend this book for people that is beginning into the field of networking because the terms that the book uses is easy to understand.
