Summary: If you can tolerate the errors, some educational value
Comment: I am responsible for a 50+ person intrusion detection mission, and I read this book in the spring of 1999. I bought this book for two reasons. First, I did not believe I was "ready" for Richard Stevens' "TCP/IP Illustrated" books. (That was probably not true.) Second, I was looking for a book with traces of network packets, linking an explanation to raw hex. After reading this book, Stevens' Volume 1, and Eric Hall's "Core Internet Protocols," I would not recommend Mr. Siyan's book, unless you plan to be an error detective. Like an earlier reviwer, I too spent a LOT of time discovering and correcting errors. While this did teach me some material in a "novel" way, I would not subject the introductory reader to such treatment. Now that Eric Hall's book has been published, readers can look for explanations and packet traces in a practically error-free book, rather than figuring it out themselves. (That removes reason 2 for buying the book.) Still, I do give "Inside TCP/IP" three stars for its good coverage of the protocol and useful diagrams. Buyer beware, however!

Summary: Simply the best!
Comment: I was looking for a book on TCP/IP and I ended up buying this one. I haven't regretted it! This must be the best book on TCP/IP I've ever read.

It covers the matters in depth and in great detail.
It explains what everything is and how it works.
It teaches you how to read a raw IP or TCP packet.

And it does all that using simple language that doesn't go over your head.

Furthermore, as opposed to other books covering the same topic, it doesn't assume you're using a Windows or Linux box. This was very important to me.

Though the language is easy to understand, it is not written for non-technical people.

Summary: Wonderful Teacher
Comment: I took Karanjit's class at Learning Tree and I have to say no one has been able to teach me subnetting like that before. His book is almost straight out of his class with much more detail. I would strongly suggest taking his class, but if you are unable, and are looking to get a solid understanding of TCP/IP, read this book. His credentials are impeccable, and his teaching style is, in my opinion, one of the best. I have taken some MCSE classes, and some other Internet classes, and have yet to learn as much from someone as I did from him.
