Description: Computer Networks won’t save one minute over the next year. It has no step-by-step procedures, no problem solving sections, and no butt-saving tricks. The only purpose it can serve at a downed site is as a shield against thrown objects from frustrated users. Normally, theoretical books like this one receive a quick skim and are promptly sent to my for-looks-only tome tomb. However, this isn’t a normal theoretical book. It’s fascinating. In fact, I read it not once but three times. Tanenbaum fills over 700 pages with everything I didn’t know, or better still, only thought I knew about networks. A comprehensive introduction to computer networks emphasizing network protocols and algorithms, from the physical layer to the application layer and from local area networks (LANS) to satellite networks. Presents the spectrum of basic protocols, concepts, algorithms, software, and technologies. Requires only a basic understanding of computer systems and programming.
