TCP/IP Tutorial & Technical Overview

Rating:
Summary: Quite Up to date, Concise, Very Well rounded
Review: Much as the nature of subject defies it, RedBooks has done it again, the book is a no BS Guide to TCP/IP and related protocols. Very Readable with just enough stress on the history and such. Nice overview of Security (IPSec, VPNs and such) though some more examples would have been helpful. Figures, though well presented, could use to be more than they are. Compares very favorably to Comer's First Volume, surpasses it by preoviding an overview more specific to SysAdmin audience to whom code is not of that much importance. Buy it, highly recommended.
