4.0 out of 5 stars This book will fill in the gaps of your TCP/IP knowledge, September 8, 2002

By	cs2001 (Western NY USA) - See all my reviews

This book has too much depth for an beginner in networking. But for someone like me who took couple courses on Microsoft network, it fills in a lot of knowledge gaps on TCP/IP.

For example, it done a great job on explaining BOOTP & DHCP. It even includes the BOOTP Message format, which I couldn't find it in most TCP/IP books.
