4.0 out of 5 stars All you need, in a small size, July 24, 2000

This review is from: Managing TCP/IP Networks: Techniques, Tools and Security (Hardcover)

I will spend a little words for this title, because this book is going to substitute all my preferred literature in TCP/IP area. When I managed problem concerning TCP/IP, the reference was one of that enormous books that everyone has seen in the libraries, 1000+ pages in size. This book has the major advantage in its small size: only 334 pages in little hard cover format (2.5 cm in width! ). But the miraculous thing is that you can find into it all you need in real world situation. OSI framework, IPv4 header, address classes, subnetting, ARP, Transport layer, all on DNS, ethernet, token ring, SNMP and RMON; security on router, firewall and NAT, etc... It's dense! It also spend some word for most popular administration tools and commands for resolving conflicts and problems on a network. So, if you need a first aid (in depth) book in your real job, and you don't want to carrier a ton book with you, this is the better choice. Only the price is too high, there is a well known literature on this argument and it is the only reason because the absence of the fifth star.
