Data and Computer Communications

Аннотация

This book is great if you are a CE/EE and want to get into all the little details around network protocols and how the hardware talks to each other. As a CS major (and Principal Software Engineer at my company) I have never had to go to the level this book pushes things at and it reminded me of where the computer industry was back in the early 70's. Many of the problems talk about teletypes and "high speed 2400 baud terminals" like they were developed just the other day. For CS and MIS majors this book is a bummer with way too much detail and information on things that you will probably never use in your lifetime. I was a network analyst for Sun Microsystems for 9 years and never needed to know the things at the level they are in this book.
