This is a very good book. It strives to give students of networking a broad view of modern communications, along withthe elements of networks. As it also strives to pack all thisinto 336 pages, it can be fairly "to-the-point" at certain places. But intelligent readers can fill in the gaps. The bookis not designed to convey the details of say, transport controlbut the basics, the most essential points. It succeeds to someextent on that front. Heartily recommended.
Don't listen to the students.

As a network professional for the past 6 years, this book was a world of help to me. It was well written and very informative on many aspects of networks today. If you don't or sisn't understand the concepts in this book you need to find another career path. Kudos to Walrand.
