In a world where the number of people who need to learn about data communications and networking is exploding, Forouzan's book is the answer. The book's visual approach makes it easy for students to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
TCP/IP is the language of the Internet and this book is its grammer. Although I think this book was intended primarily to be a college textbook, I'm not in school. I just was assigned a project to do some software requiring a direct interface to TCP/IP. I found this book to be exactly what I needed. The book uses a very visual approach that allows you to quickly find the subject areas you need. Then the key points are put into boxes, kind of like someone has gone through with a hi-lighter to emphasize the critical points. These enabled me to skip rapidly through the points I knew about to get to the areas where I needed detail. This book further is one of the best written and more clearly describes this rather technical subject in clear English words that even a simple programmer can understand. This is the third edition, it covers some of the newer protocols like SCTP. Exceeding well done book.
Very easy to understand.

I read this book last year as a part of my course. I found it was very easy to understand, and later I used it as my revision book when I want to revise some concepts. I also put this book onto my shelf for later use. For me, at the first time, I have no experience or any knowledge about TCP/IP. After I finished this book, I know more a lot.This Forouzan's work is a noble one. He used a very understandable way to explain what they are. So this book are suitable for a undergrad student or whom that has no idea in TCP/IP
very good one

The simplest book on TCP/IP

There is no doubt that apart from Douglas Comer's three-volume set, this is the best book to learn TCP/IP. Behrouz has simply created magic, with his usual liberal use of diagrams and tables to explain complex topics with ease. I would strongly recommend this book for those who want to learn TCP/IP at a conceptual level in addition to Comer. However, if you want to go to the internals, this may not be the right book for you.
The best book on TCP/IP that I have come across.

I consider myself very fortunate to be one of the first few to have a copy of this book (draft copy that is sold at DeAnza College Bookshop). I fully recommend this book as it starts from the basics and covers all aspects of TCP/IP. I understand that the published version of this book will cover a few additional topics. I am really looking forward to reading this book. An essential book for everyone interested in TCP/IP. Also an EXCELLENT reference book.
