Summary: Comprehensive coverage to High-speed networking concepts
Comment: If you already know basics of networking and you in developing a product or involved in protocol design or trying to architect a BOX this book is for you.

The book has taken a different approach by explaning concepts and providing key difference which you will not find in RFC's are specifications.

The book does not talk about any protocol detail rather it provides a concepts and problems behind the protocol and is really a nice thing to read and covers from physical layer, network components, host and end-to-end issues.

I gave this 5 star - useful references , tips and quotes to remember the principles are really good. Thank God! not much of mathematics while explaining some concepts.

Summary: Reasonable attempt to extract principles
Comment: This book provides a refreshing change from most networking books that describe a mass of protocols, and instead attempts to extract principles that underly these protocols. These are summarized in an appendix, and are discussed throughout the book.

The downside is that one section of the book will often (of necessity) refer to principles described in another section of the book, but the only reference is to a name and number of the principle (e.g. "Backward Compatibilty Inhibits Radical Change (III.7)"). To find more detail about the principle requires searching the appendix (section III.7 for the example) that is somewhere towards the end of the book for a page reference where the principle is defined. It would be better if the inside cover listed the titles of the principles and the pages where they are defined, and if the appendix or index could list the pages where the principle is used.
