5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Readable and vendor-neutral, July 2, 2001
This review is from: TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview (IBM Redbook) (Paperback)
Differs from most IBM Redbooks in that the structure of the book is well designed and the writing is clear. I also appreciated the way the team who compiled this book used well thought-out illustrations.

Although this book addresses TCP/IP from the perspective of IBM's operating systems, most of the book is vendor neutral (all IBM-specific implementation detail is covered in Chapter 14). The authors cover the basics of TCP/IP, routing and layers. They also cover IP version 6, Quality of Service and other topics that I did not expect. The strongest chapter is Chapter 11, which devotes 27 information-packed pages to availability, scalability and load balancing.

This book is a great addition to network operation center reference libraries. It will serve network professionals, as well as developers who write TCP/IP application-layer utilities, well as a ready reference.

I only wish more of books in the Redbook series were as well written or illustrated.
