5.0 out of 5 stars The simplest book on TCP/IP, January 3, 2001
By 
This review is from: TCP/IP Protocol Suite (Hardcover)
There is no doubt that apart from Douglas Comer's three-volume set, this is the best book to learn TCP/IP. Behrouz has simply created magic, with his usual liberal use of diagrams and tables to explain complex topics with ease.

I would strongly recommend this book for those who want to learn TCP/IP at a conceptual level in addition to Comer. However, if you want to go to the internals, this may not be the right book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly Written so even I could Understand it., April 20, 2005
TCP/IP is the language of the Internet and this book is its grammer. Although I think this book was intended primarily to be a college textbook, I'm not in school. I just was assigned a project to do some software requiring a direct interface to TCP/IP. I found this book to be exactly what I needed.

The book uses a very visual approach that allows you to quickly find the subject areas you need. Then the key points are put into boxes, kind of like someone has gone through with a hi-lighter to emphasize the critical points. These enabled me to skip rapidly through the points I knew about to get to the areas where I needed detail.

This book further is one of the best written and more clearly describes this rather technical subject in clear English words that even a simple programmer can understand.

This is the third edition, it covers some of the newer protocols like SCTP. Exceeding well done book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great in-depth explanation of the different TCP/IP protocols!, September 15, 2007
This review is from: TCP/IP Protocol Suite (Hardcover)
Just recently, I began writing network drivers for my custom Operating System and found myself a little in-the-dark about the proper format for a TCP/IP packet. This book proved to be a great read, and also an extremely useful reference later on.

Two thumbs up.
