I got this book as it was a prescribed textbook by my University.
Yes, the book is quite fat and has a LOT of content in it! But I would like to point out that the author has explained the concepts very well! If you read through it, you won't notice when you've progressed through the chapters. I have to say, that even for a beginner, this is a very well written informative book!
The concepts are quite up-to-date and it is explained in such a way that even if you pick up a random concept from the middle without any prior knowledge of anything else, it is quite likely that you would clearly understand most of it without much effort!
On the negative side, I felt that the book is too theoretical and lacks a mathematical or practical approach. Otherwise, I don't see any significant shortcomings in this book.
Verdict: Recommended

Good book bad paper
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2015Verified Purchase
The contents was relevant to my course. Which is why this is the set text for many university's. My only gripe is that this edition is printed on some cheap paper. More akin to an argos catalogue.

Must Have !
Reviewed in India on 3 January 2018Verified Purchase
It is a great book for learning Data Communication and Networking... I will recommend this book over Tanenbaum (Author) because its language is
very easy to read and understand... I have both the books (this one and Tanenbaum (Author) )...
Content-wise this book is quite rich & the concepts have been explained well with diagrams when we compare to Tanenbaum (Author)...
Hope it Helps!!
