Summary: Excellent
Comment: Not only did I have the pleasure of reading this book for my Networks class, Professor Gouda also the instructor for the course. The book is excellent -- and though it is not entirely applicable -- for networking theory it is outstanding. The book is very clear and though technical in nature --- it is not long winded and difficult to understand. I completely recommend this book for anyone who would like to learn the basics of networking.

Summary: WOW ?
Comment: After reading the (glowing) reviews for this book, I purchased a copy. I would say that this book is pretty weak. He presents a lot of shallow arguments, but doesn't go into the details that one would expect. His coverage of the Internet protocols is not at all in depth. I had hoped to get a more detailed analysis of the protocols of the Internet. I also find his presentation for describing the "Abstract Protocol" language as vague and confusing, and the syntax is needlessly convoluted. Why does he need to use a 'box' symbol to separate different actions? Perhaps another symbol which actually appears on most keyboards would have been a better choice.

Summary: WOW!!!
Comment: This is SUCH a good book. I took an intro to Networks class and this was the book we used. It was my senior year and I was SO sick of reading textbooks that made no sense. This book made me decide to get my masters in networks. It is very clearly written, very easy to read, the explenations of the algorithms are easy to understand. This book deserves 6 stars, not 5.
