I had been doing system programming for a few years, read several books about operating systems, and written a couple of device drivers for UNIX before I encountered this book. I was comfortable working on existing operating systems, but writing a complete operating system seems like it would be overwhelming. Reading Xinu, and later doing labs on a PDP-11? gave me confidence to take on much more challenging projects and led me to conclude that if I needed to, I could write an OS from the show more ground up. show less
In sections it is dated, but still provides a working knowledge of networks (LAN and internet). Also provides some nice code for certain concepts.
If ever asked how networks (or the internet) work, generally I just pull out this book.

I read this book for my IT530 class. I found it to be very easy to understand and filled with lots of useful information. Worthwhile for those interesting in networking but have a little knowledge of the subject.

If you want to know what every byte in every field of a TCP/IP packet is doing, this is the book for you.
