Title: Not really all that wonderful
Product review: I've had to use this for a Networking+ class and have hated and dreaded having to read it and prep class for it. The writing is vague and sloppy and there are many dubious and wrong statements. Some diagrams do not correspond to the text and/or are confusing. You will not get a good idea of many concepts. It's been very frustrating.I give it two stars because it is specifically for the Network+ test, but would rate it only one star as a general intro to networking because in addition to the above problems it is full of obsolete and legacy stuff like token ring, coax, NetWare.The chapter on "Networking with Unix-like OS's" has nothing about networking with them.My copy will be dumped into the library's free box as soon as the course ends.
