Review: A User/Beginner Friendly Classic, Epic, Truely Great - Would agree with many of the positive reviews here. It is hard to believe that just one person wrote this book. Equally amazing is how good it is. It is getting a bit old and some things are beginning to move on, but to understand IPv6, you need a good grasp of IPv4. Both are covered beautifully in a manner designed to teach not confuse or merely impress other academic types. There are detailed diagrams and line by line full explanations on every topic and nothing nor any detail is skipped. From binary transfer, to packet encoding, everything imaginable is covered for the OSI reference model, in terms that just about anyone can understand. Seriously impressive. Want to understand networking? Much of the information in this book is a must. As a reference book, it is outstanding. At 1500+ pages it doesn't miss much, if anything, although I must confess to only having read line by line about a third of it in total, roughly 500 pages. I'm biased as my hobby and professional work is IT. I literally have multiples of hundreds of tech books, in paper and Ebooks. For me, this book is a work of fine art.
Review: Essentials of core networking protocols - This is a great book which gives both and intelligible overview and sufficient details to the core networking protocols. While it's huge, the language inside is simple and structure which makes the impression that the networking is simple as well. :) And author explains a lot of why's and his history lessons just capture the essence without boring frills. To sum up, it can be a great reference for anyone who's interested in networking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authoritative TCP/IP reference
*by J***O on July 23, 2006*

Since I got 6 years ago volumes 1, 2 and 3 of Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated, I hadn't found a title with so a thorough and detailed description of TCP/IP protocols. Kozierok's written a very, very detailed and authoritative guide. I agree with other reviews that Steven's books still are the best hands-on reference on TCP/IP available, and an indispensable resource. Nevertheless, 'The TCP/IP Guide' is going to mark a milestone in the TCP/IP field. I don't usually get smashed simply by the length of a book (and this is a very thick one, believe me...), because many times you find no more than lots of padding stuff. This book is simply unbelievable: more than 80 chapters with descriptions of every inner and deeper functional detail of the TCP/IP protocol stack. A lot of informative and very well-designed diagrams and graphics helps very much to understand key topics.
