A very good overview of TCP/IP protocols

This book describe the TCP/IP family protocols. Of course, there is so much to say that in the limited space that a book can offer that I would say that the book presents only a quick overview of the protocols. Fortunately, at the end of each chapter, there are pointers on the relevant RFCs for the discussed topic in that chapter. My next statement is an impression and not a proven fact but by having read the first edition a long time ago, I have the impression that some details have been removed in this edition in favor of a better coverage of more new protocols. That being said, the information contained in the book is extremely accurate and the book is very useful when analyzing the output of a packet sniffer such as WireShark (previously known as Ethereal).

Most Comprehensive Networking Book Around

The title is misleading. This book is a terrific overview of networking concepts and applications. The chapters are complete, but concise, and Comer's style makes it an easy read.

Many topics, but not an in-depth reference

Internetworking with TCP/IP does a very good job introducing almost all relevant topics about TCP/IP networking you should hear of. Thus, it deserves 4 stars because it succeeds in providing an *INTRODUCTORY* guide to this field.

However, if you're looking for a more in-depth and detailed explanation about TCP/IP insights, Steven's 'TCP/IP Illustrated' is the reference you need. The same happens if you want to get more details about routing protocols or real-time and VoIP related stuff (RTP/RTCP for example).

If the introductory level is enough for you, this is a very good choice.

Not an in-depth coverage

This book tries to cover too many topics and does not cover any one in enough depth. I would recommend it only as an introductory book on TCP/IP.

An ideal book for both student and Engineer

This book is written in a very readable style and yet covers vast ground in a concise way. Its organisation is excellent and the index finds references to the most useful sections quickly and accurately. The student will quickly gain insight into the protocols and operation at an advanced level, and the design engineer will gain the oversight to design excellent products. The references in each chapter provide good additional reading where extra depth is necessary, but are not required for most readers. It is a system designers book, not aimed at implementors of a TCP/IP stack, and this lack of reference to particular software constructs comes as a relief in todays publishing. The best book on this subject which I have read.

reviews: page 1, 2

This best-selling, conceptual introduction to TCP/IP internetworking protocols interweaves a clear discussion of fundamentals with the latest technologies. Leading author Doug Comer covers layering and shows how all protocols in the TCP/IP suite fit into the five-layer model. With a new focus on CIDR addressing, this revision addresses MPLS and IP switching technology, traffic scheduling, VOIP, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK). Includes coverage of Voice and Video Over IP (RTP), IP coverage, a discussion of routing architectures, examination of Internet application services such as domain name system (DNS), electronic mail (SMTP, MIME), file transfer and access (FTP, TFTP, NFS), remote login (TELNET, rlogin), and network management (SNMP, MIB, ANS.I), a description of mobile IP, and private network interconnections such as NAT and VPN. The new edition includes updates to every chapter, updated examples, a new chapter on MPLS and IP switching technology and an expanded TCP description that featuers Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK). For network and web designers, implementers, and administrators, and for anyone interested in how the Internet works.
