Summary: Fantastic but unknown for some reason
Comment: This is one great book on networking. Unlike other books that include exclusively kiddie babbling about OSI etc., this one comprises a lot of material (actually, most of the book) on queueing and related low-level network issues.

As the other reviewer suggested, math (statistics, Markov chains, etc.) is profusely utilized throughout the text, so make sure you start with a good refresher of the above topics. If there's nothing to refresh, this is not a book for you, it's not another "certification" cram-blam-exam tutorial. Not any vendor oriented. It does talk about OSI, TCP/IP, SNA, and other environments, but mostly the book is more fundamental than just that. At the same time, this is not a textbook on statistics by any means, math here is of the purely applied kind, only what's relevant, it doesn't crush the reader -- which is a rare combination: it's not elementary, yet eminently practical. Also, the book contains a huge bibliography. Highly recommended for any technical individual working in the telecom industry.

Rating: 5
Summary: Makes MCSE, ECNE or Sun certification a joke.
Comment: This is the real engineering book to consider and understand Networks. You may need to find a key for all the solutions as they are very hard to understand. A upper level of statistics is taken for granted before you address this book.
