One of the few best books on this subject

Radia Perlman, author of this book, is one of these great people who pioneered the technology which we today know as the Internet. Her book no doubt should be one of the best in the industry to understand this technology, and so it is. She is also famous for inventing the spanning tree protocol, on which today switches work in almost all major networks. She is an authority on the Internet technology and this makes her book an all time best book, both for reference purposes and for learning purposes.

Anybody who wants to learn more about how the Internet works or networks work, this book is a must have.

This is one of these books which never get old. As a professional in the TCP/IP industry, I know that best material on this subject was published in 90s and is still used for reference. And this book is still newer.
