Internet System Handbook

Rating:
Summary: a fair book, just outdated
Review: i picked this up because it was on clearance and at the time (a grad student) i couldn't afford stevens. i'm glad i did, it covers a lot of the internet protocol background you'll need to do any serious research. however, it really lacks any of the depth in most places that you'll find in stevens or comers. i still refer to some of it, but frankly a lot of the background material is out of date and covered better elsewhere.

probably reccomended for people who can pick it up on the cheap or want a fair overview. i'm glad i read it, but i have better ones on my shelf.
