3.0 out of 5 stars
could be much better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Troubleshooting Tcp/Ip (Network Troubleshooting Library) (Paperback)
The author may be an expert but he's not a good writer. There's too much talk and too many "facts" you have to memorize. When it finally comes to interpreting sample network analysis reports, it's not nearly detailed enough. I thought the opposite before I bought the book. Secondly, as common to all books published by a cheap publisher, there're too many errors. Third, the CD contains RFQs, which you can get from the Internet. No programs. I wish I could get the sniffer program he used in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
practical knowledge on reading packet traces,
By A Customer
This review is from: Troubleshooting TCP/IP (Paperback)
Everyone seems to have lots of great reference books on network design and protocol specifications. If you actually have to fix a network problem (or even harder, explain to a vendor that they need to fix a problem), your best bet is to show them a packet trace and say "there is the problem, and it's your fault!" The only way to do this is to learn to read packet traces. Theory is not always useful in practice. This book complements all any network library, and is a easy read for reasonably experienced network professionals. The structure of the book is simple. Each chapter provides a brief review of a concept, then several examnple problems. Each problem comes with a problem description, a packet trace, and a solution. The ability to define a problem in this way is both cool and great for the resume.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The only book to read for protocol analysis,
By
This review is from: Troubleshooting TCP/IP (Paperback)
OK, it's not the only book, but this book comes close. It's not for the beginner. You must be VERY well versed in TCP/IP before attempting to read this book. While it's not rocket science, it's too much info to absorb if you don't understand TCP/IP. I rate this book on the same level as Radia Perlman's book, Rich Seifert's book, Jeff Doyle's book, and Clark&Hamilton books.If you want to be able to trace files (especially NAI's Sniffer), then this book is for you.
