Summary: Still the best book to learn about TCP/IP
Comment: Unlike most computer books, this one is not dated although it was published in 1998. It provides the best explanation of subnet masking--making that concept intuitive. Other books don't present concepts/rules in such a clear manner. It will take more than 21 days to read through this book, since one day's worth of material can take longer to digest. This isn't a book you simply read and skim through the exercises. Take the time to do the exercises and you will know this subject better than you thought you could. If you're being handed an IP network to manage and you need to learn IP quick, buy this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Comprehensive and challenging
Comment: There may be a reason that Amazon dropped "in 21 days" from the title of this book... the topic is a complex one which demands more than three weeks of attention. Regardless of the title, this is still an excellent self-study course on the TCP/IP protocol suite. Rather than focusing on passing a now non-existent exam, the author masterfully leads you through the intricacies of TCP/IP on a variety of platforms, helping you develop valuable and portable skills.

Unlike other books which spend chapter after chapter on networking basics, this book has you deconstructing IP packets on day three and subnetting on day six. The pace is unrelenting to the end, but it's worth the effort.

Rating: 5
Summary: A complex subject explained in a clear and concise manner!
Comment: Not only does this book explain all aspects of TCP/IP in an easy to understand format, but the author also mentions how it relates to both Unix and MS OS and contrasts the differences.

As a graduate student of Telecommunications Management, I could only dream to have professors this eloquent in all my classes. I bought this book as an alternative to one recommended by a prof teaching this subject. I have read this book and skimmed the one recommended by the prof - no regrets!!
