Business Data Communications
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Excellent layman's book on Communications. Despite its ease of reading, it is detail oriented and directs you to sources if you require more specific information on the topics. You won't be able to pass the MCSE after reading the book, but you will certainly have a good idea of system networking.

It is an excellent book to teach graduate courses. While the students find this book too dry and technical, at the end of the course they see themselves with the basic skills for this growing field. For the IS practitioner, the book is an ideal resource. It gives exactly the level of detail needed to understand projects related to data communication technology.I have read the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions. I find the authors to progressively focus on new technology and issues of current interest. I recommend this book to someone wanting to learn fundamental concepts in data and TCP/IP communications.
Great book!

This book was one of my required courses at University of Washington. I find it very helpful and informative. However, in order to benefit from this book, one needs to read it carefully and reread it a few times to understand what the author is trying to say. For advance users, this will help them to understand the big picture for planning and designing.
