Summary: TCP/IP for the Advanced Professional
Comment: This book has been my ultimate reference for TCP/IP for the past several years, and is very comprehensive. It is about as complete as can be expected given the publication date. However, it is not a book for beginners in any way shape or form. If analyzing TCP/IP is your business, or you need a good desk reference for TCP/IP, then I would highly recommend this book. I only wish more books were written with this level of detail.

Summary: Exact and Informative
Comment: This book is one of the best books I have read. It goes straignt to the fundamentals of what each protocol is designed to do and gives you the values the protocol uses to acheive this aim. Basicaly if the functionality is in the packet headder it is discussed in this book. It requires a basic knowledge of the principles, but provides enough information that once you have read it, you will understand any value a packet decoder can produce. It also provides a simple but effective packet decode at the end of each section so you can actualy see the protocols in action.

Summary: high and low leveles mixed together
Comment: The book is thorough, but we have RFCs for that ... The author keeps flooding the reader with details (e.g. port numbers, sizes, addresses) even when trying to explain principals. There should be better seperation between high level concepts and implementation details that does not exist in this book (and does in other books). Also, a lot of the diagrams are meaningless, and it seemed to me a lot of the times they were here only to make the book thicker. Most of the examples are trace of packets, which are difficult to follow. High level flow examples are missing.
