The best computer network book.

This is the best computer network book by far comparing to others for professionals as well as beginners. Better than Kurose's whose selling point, "top-down approach", is quite questionable approach to the beginners, better than Peterson's which I believe is a bit mazy to see a big picture of computer networking.
Only issue is that this book has been around for 8 years without update, while the computer networking is one of the most rapidly changing subjects. Although the fundamental part of this book still stands, it's already high time to update.
