4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginners, August 15, 2001
This review is from: Understanding Data Communications and Networks (Spiral-bound)
Here's and excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about data communication and network systems.It uses an easy to understand language and gradually introduces a new topic.It touches all aspects of transmission modes and protocol concepts but if you want to study the seven OSI layers a better book would be Computer Networks by tanenbaum.Still a good book for beginners of the subject.
