A complete anatomy of TCP/IP networks and the IP protocol suite in a quick-reference format. Illustrated TCP/IP Whether you're adding new TCP/IP applications to your office suite or migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, Illustrated TCP/IP gives you instant access to the detailed information you need-in a unique quick-reference format. Each topic is concisely explained on a large-format page, with a PowerPoint slide graphic to illustrate key concepts. Matt Naugle covers all the bases, including: * A concise, easy-to-read discussion of the TCP/IP protocol * IPv4 and IPv6 addressing * FTP, DNS, SMTP, SNMP, BOOTP, DHCP, RSVP, RTP, RTCP, and other major applications protocols * Routing protocols RIP, RIPv2, and OSPF * IP multicast * The impact of IPv6 on existing networks * Migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 * RFCs and where to find them. The CD-ROM supplies you with: PowerPoint slides of the illustrations in the book that you can use in your presentations, seminars, and reports.
If what you need is a detailed reference of the bits and bytes, this is not the right book. If what you need is familiarization with the concepts and basics of TCP/IP buy this book.In general, I find very few technical books that are error free. Most of the errors could best be caught by the editing and publishing process. This book, as pointed out, has a few errors. None of these errors detract from its value as a top level reference and explanation of the spectrum of functions and facilities provided by TCP/IP.The included PowerPoint slides are generally error free, and are worth the price of the book. These slides are made from the illustrations in the book (wish they were visio, but ...). The book provides the equivalent of notes, or facing page text for these illustrations.Get Comer or Stevens if you need the technical details. Get this if you need to figure out what TCP/IP is and how to use it.

This is not a book that I would read cover to cover but it is a great reference tool and I use it daily as a great source for graphic TCP/IP explanations. I also use it as a teaching aid for TCP/IP and to explain router protocol theory. I would definitely recommend buying this book!
