best book at that level  | I really like this book and it is my favourite among books at that level. The main competitors are Tanenbaum "Computer Networks" and Kurose&Ross "Computer Networking"; Stallings is better because if it also starts from the basics, it is technically deeper, making it a more useful long-term reference. The companion web site is very useful (and has free access unlike Kurose). Tanenbaum's book is very good too but seems dated in places now (I expect a new eidition will come out eventually).
In a nutshell, if you need only one intermediate level computer networking book, make it this one.

Very good book, but some holes  | | Over all a very good book, but in some areas it's very US-centric with detailed coverage of IS-95 but no mention of GSM. I also found the index hard to navigage with several attempts needed to find something as large as ADSL. | |
| Helpful for Data Comms | | I found this book really helpful during my second year of Computer Science. There were detailed explanations of the internal workings of networks, along with good diagrams. | |
| I suggest it as a textbook, complete and updated | | I adopted this book for my course. Very up-to-date and easy to understand. Very good resources online both for teaching and students, give quite a helping hand. | |
| excellent book | | It is very good book to learn how data and computer communicates. It is helping me lot with my studies. Plain English and easy to understand. | |
