</p>Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) Review
I haven't finished the book yet, but I'd like to reassure potential buyers that the Kindle Edition is fine in that the diagrams are quite readable even with my small Kindle.This has not always been the case for Kindle edition of other computer books.
Now The fact that I bought this as a Kindle book has been a bit of a life-saver because I often take a bus and when I read it there,
I increase the font size considerably. This way I dont get a headache from reading with the book shaking in front of my eyes.
Now for the contents:
It's quite good. It tends to have a semi-formal long rambling style rather than one little bit at a time (and then exercises), which I would have preferred. Nevertheless I currently feel confident that with pencil and paper I could get by with just this book and learn a lot about how TCP/IP works.
One thing I liked is that the author I wary of following the OSI model literally and working one's way up.
