Review title: Networking information right at your fingertips.
Product review: In networking you have to understand certain concepts and those concepts are crucial to becoming a valued network technician. I have seen or read many books on networking but until now I hadn't read one so detailed.This book literally takes a chapter for each layer of the OSI model and breaks it down. Starting with the physical layer and then to the Data Link layer which has chapters for the 2 sublayers as well.You'll see where protocols fit into what layer, how security is affected at what layers, where routing algorithms figure out paths and which protocols to use. The author simply amazed me with the amount of information this book covered.The book covered it all including IPv6, Java, ATM, FDDI, Routers, SLIP, HDLC and so much more. This is certainly a great addition to my personal technical library.
