Data Communications and Networking | 5th Edition

best book on Data Communications and Networking

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.

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 .......

Good

Best book clear information about networks

It is a great book for learning Data Communication and Networking... I will recommend this book over Tanenbaum (Author) because its language is very 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!!

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

Amazing book, got me through my 7th semester in Electronics engineering. The only downside was that I was having 10 pages missing from the Wireless LANs chapter in my book that's why giving it 3 stars
