I have known and used this book for years and I always found it very valuable as a textbook for teaching computer networks as well as a reference book for networking professionals. This Fifth Edition maintains the core value of former editions and brings the clarity of explanation of network protocols in the introduction of the most up-to-date techniques, technologies and requirements of networking. Beyond describing the details of past and current networks, this book successfully motivates the curiosity, and hopefully new research, for the networks of the future. Stefano Basagni, Northeastern University Peterson and Davie have written an outstanding book for the computer networking world. It is a well-organized book that features a very helpful big picture systems approach. This book is a must have!
