Customer Reviews

Simply an amazing book

I don't know what the reader who gave this book 1 star was thinking. This is one of the best books I have ever bought. It starts from the very begining, and methodically works through everything you could want to know about IP. If networking interests you, definitely buy this book.

A very practical book on IP Networking

One of the BEST books on IP Networking. While Comers, Stevens elobrate on the inner details of TCP/IP, this book focuses on the practical aspects of networking. The ratio of useful information per page is very high. One of the hidden classics of Networking. This is my honest opinion. This book may be a bit high level for the beginners.

Excellent Explanation Of VLSMs

This is a tremendous book for IP newbies and more experienced users alike. I bought the book primarily because I had not been able to find a comprehensive and understandable explanation of VLSMs. The chapter in this book dealing with that subject itself is worth the purchase price. Clearly explained with text, examples, and exercises, this book took a complicated subject and made it quite easy to understand. The rest of the book is just as good. My compliments to the author for an excellent job.

Best IP Fundamental book I ever read

The title speaks what it means by IP Fundamental. Good for all who want to take MCSE, MCP, CNE, CNA, CCSE and CCSA.It will help u to build a very strong ground of understanding an important Protocol. Practise the example of every chapter, it will test your understanding of that subject before you move to another one. Good luck.

Good practical (and comprehensive) reference and guide.

This book is a fine reference for network professionals. Probably more IP than anyone person needs in one place, with good references and excellent examples. The style is clear and readable. It's very useful to see the nuts & bolts of how OSPF & RIPx work together. If you need one IP book, this would be a good bet.
