Data Communications and Networking | 5th Edition

Don't waste your time by searching which books to read for Computer Networking just buy this one you will not regret. There were also many other books available like Computer Networks by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and David J. Wetherall but nobody read that book another book is there Computer Networking-A top down approach by James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross but the main problem with that book is that it contains only theories, numericals were given in a much less amount. This is the most highly recommended book by Professors of IIT and NIT and those who are also preparing for GATE exam and also for those who wants to learn Networking in depth, it contains lots of questions to practice. You can't completely read this book bit by bit. Read this book along with by watching videos of Gate Lectures by Ravindrababu Rabula because no one can explain Computer Networking better than him, he is absolutely brillant guy. Just take his course and keep this book as a reference, and if you want to read it you can, because it is going to consume a lot of time.

Best book clear information about networks

There is no doubt that the book is awesome , but the condition was not so good when delivered , looking like second hand but inside everything like new..... Book and the content everything is there..... I am just little confused that about how to download the online restricted resources from official website of McGrawHill because I couldn't find the passcode ( Thr passcode which is generally available inside every physical copy of McGrawHill books to download book related online resources from McGrawHill official ) to download online restricted resources inside this book, and not even the book is listed anymore in the website, if anyone have any solution regarding this then let me know.... However The Book is Great .......

I will recommend you all to purchase this book it is very nice, packaging was also very good and the condition of book is also remarkable, it is in very good condition.

I have received this book with proper packaging.About Book :-1) Optimum Page Quality2) Everything is written perfectly without missing anything.3) Covering is Good but not best. You can consider it as 90℅ out of 100. Which is common even in all books.4) Image quality in book is good. It's percentage ,as per my experience is 85-90%.5) Conclusion:- Overall performance is above average.

You can not escape from this text book if you want to learn networking.

I got this book as it was a prescribed textbook by my University.Yes, the book is quite fat and has a LOT of content in it! But I would like to point out that the author has explained the concepts very well! If you read through it, you won't notice when you've progressed through the chapters. I have to say, that even for a beginner, this is a very well written informative book!The concepts are quite up-to-date and it is explained in such a way that even if you pick up a random concept from the middle without any prior knowledge of anything else, it is quite likely that you would clearly understand most of it without much effort!On the negative side, I felt that the book is too theoretical and lacks a mathematical or practical approach. Otherwise, I don't see any significant shortcomings in this book.Verdict: Recommended

It is a great book for learning Data Communication and Networking... I will recommend this book over Tanenbaum (Author) because its language isvery easy to read and understand... I have both the books (this one and Tanenbaum (Author) )...Content-wise this book is quite rich & the concepts have been explained well with diagrams when we compare to Tanenbaum (Author)...Hope it Helps!!
