Summary: An essential reference book for your library.
Review: If you are in Networking and intend to progress, this book is a MUST. It contains a wealth of necessary information and begins at a very readable and easy to understand level. Once these foundations are laid in early chapters, the material continues at a good pace and covers an excellent area of topics including Addressing, Concepts, ARP, RARP, TCP/UDP, Routing, ICMP, Subnets, ISO Model, GGP, EGP, RIP, OSPF, IGMP, DNS, Telnet and much, much more.I'm studying towards my CCNP and already have the Syngress and Cisco range of books. I regard this book both as an investment and as a core book in my ever growing networking library.

Summary: Super! It is a must for studying TCP/IP
Review: It covers many things, including foundation knowledge: Network Technologies, Addressing etc.; specific protocols: ICMP, IGMP, RIP, TCP, UDP etc. It is a compenhensive book. It talks about things in-depth. Surprisingly, It also include Internet security and Firewall Design. Although, this part does not talked in-depth, it can still give me a valuable concept about it. The content is abundant. I am pleased that it organized in a good way. Most likely, make one chapter for each protocol. I can follow it easily. Also, it is also good in glossary and index. I think index is quite important for you, since I can find what I want quickly. Any, it is a good book indeed.

Summary: A good book on TCP/IP
Review: It is simple and clear. The numerous references to the related RFC's make the reader to learn more about networking.
Rating:
Summary: "One Hell Of A Good Book"
Review: It was the best book I have ever read, it really shows you how to work with TCP/IP setting and configurations. You can sit down at a nework computer and set it up for TCP/IP connections. It great!

Summary: Serious, understandable, professional
Review: Many times you find books that tell you "How To" but hide the concepts underlying their topic. This book is an exception: The principles and architecture is explained in a well understandable way.
Rating:
Summary: The book is very good but the price is too high
Review: The book is too expensive. The price should not be more than $40.0

Summary: Best Book for a Non-Trivial Understanding of TCP/IP
Review: There are numerous TCP/IP books out there but this book stands out amongst the rest in that it explains the various aspects of the technology well. Many books are just scratching the surface to provide an illusion of explaining TCP/IP well. This book is no kids' book; it delves into well into the principles, protocols and architectures,... and even when these can be rather daunting, the explanation is as good as it can be. Few experts can explain/impart their knowledge as well as the author. It also provides rich info on the future TCP/IP (IPv6) and a brief overview (about 10 pages) of HTTP. If you are a computer professional who is serious about learning about TCP/IP, this book is highly recommended. I am glad to have bought this book.

Summary: Stevens is practical, Comer is theoretical
Review: There are several "bibles" of TCP/IP floating around. This is one of them. Comer takes a more academic and theoretical approach to the topic of TCP/IP with this book than TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1 by Richard Stevens. I believe that a person interested in this topic should read the Stevens book first, then read this one to further extend her knowledge. Both books are excellent companions to your library and you really can't go wrong with either.

Summary: Must have for networking library
Review: This book has to be part of your library. Combined with "Interconnections" author: Radia Perlman all protocols are covered from datalink and network layers. I don't know of one CCIE that doesn't own a copy of each. These books aren't vendor specific only protocol specific, so perfect for Cisco, Lucent or Nortel. The key to networking is to understand the protocols, which is what these books teach.
Rating: 
Summary: Great introduction. Does not assume knowledge of networking
Review: This book is a great introduction to TCP/IP. It is pretty self-contained and those with computer experience but without networking experiencing will find that it is a good introduction to networking. It is not complete as Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated, however.
