Customer Reviews

Clearly Written so even I could Understand it.

TCP/IP is the language of the Internet and this book is its grammer. Although I think this book was intended primarily to be a college textbook, I'm not in school. I just was assigned a project to do some software requiring a direct interface to TCP/IP. I found this book to be exactly what I needed. The book uses a very visual approach that allows you to quickly find the subject areas you need. Then the key points are put into boxes, kind of like someone has gone through with a hi-lighter to emphasize the critical points. These enabled me to skip rapidly through the points I knew about to get to the areas where I needed detail. This book further is one of the best written and more clearly describes this rather technical subject in clear English words that even a simple programmer can understand. This is the third edition, it covers some of the newer protocols like SCTP. Exceeding well done book.

Very easy to understand.

I read this book last year as a part of my course. I found it was very easy to understand, and later I used it as my revision book when I want to revise some concepts. I also put this book onto my shelf for later use. For me, at the first time, I have no experience or any knowledge about TCP/IP. After I finished this book, I know more a lot.This Forouzan's work is a noble one. He used a very understandable way to explain what they are. So this book are suitable for a undergrad student or whom that has no idea in TCP/IP

very good one

simple and understandable language. was extremely helpful in my course.

The simplest book on TCP/IP

There is no doubt that apart from Douglas Comer's three-volume set, this is the best book to learn TCP/IP. Behrouz has simply created magic, with his usual liberal use of diagrams and tables to explain complex topics with ease. I would strongly recommend this book for those who want to learn TCP/IP at a conceptual level in addition to Comer. However, if you want to go to the internals, this may not be the right book for you.

The best book on TCP/IP that I have come across.

I consider myself very fortunate to be one of the first few to have a copy of this book (draft copy that is sold at DeAnza College Bookshop). I fully recommend this book as it starts from the basics and covers all aspects of TCP/IP. I understand that the published version of this book will cover a few additional topics. I am really looking forward to reading this book. An essential book for everyone interested in TCP/IP. Also an EXCELLENT reference book.
