The Other Great Networking Book
The networking universe is not purely TCP/IP. There is a ton of wacky stuff out there that even your friendly Cisco instructor likes to gloss over. Who uses CLNP or DECnet, anyway? And Ethernet just works, doesn't it?Well, people do use them, Ethernet doesn't just work and one day you'll need to know what the hell is happening on your multi-vendor multi-protocol network, whereupon Radia Perlman will save your hide. When I was recently posted abroad I had to decide which technical books to put in storage until my return and which to bring with me. I had about 150 such books, but I could take three at most. I took two: Perlman and Stevens TCP/IP vol 1. I've not missed the others yet.

Readable networking?!
Perlman does a fantastic job of writing about a topic she's obviously passionate about. Her ability to convey complex networking topics simply makes this book an excellent introduction to the subject, a great guide for people who don't need to be experts (i.e. marketing folks), and a technical text book. This book is both incredibly informative and entertaining, spiced with some of her own views, annecdotes, and history of networking. A great read, can you believe I would say that about a networking text?

Excellent Book for Beginners to WAN
I have just recieved this book yesterday , as this book lives to the expectations , I havent read a better book to understand about Layer2 , there are lots of books available for Routing and understanding of Routable Protocols , this book goes quite in depth on Framing , Bridging , VLAN , etc.
This book is a must have for any one who wants to master Switching , and for anyone who wants to pursue CCNP and CCIE R/S track .Navin Parwal
