Among the definitive essential networking reference books

An extraordinary amount of reference material packed into one book, all highly reliable. There is extensive coverage of protocols, architectures, commercial products, and even applications. Care is taken to prevent bias regarding any particular vendor or system, although the 1994 publication date makes the book fairly dated by 1997 when a new edition is scheduled. Many charts and diagrams. The alphabetical encyclopedia format is the main drawback, but the index is good.
