This is one of the worst academic material I've come across. Not to mention,it's super lengthy and repeats the same thing in different manner for pages after pages,this book gives too much importance to physical layer and data link layer,the network layer is comparatively better while there are hardly any matter pertaining to the transport layer and application layer which are the two most important layers in the internet spectrum. Exactly 50% of the book is devoted to the most unimportant and u...more
good as textbook

very good book

Read this book recently as part of a graduate level introductory course on computer networks at the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The book covers the five layer TCP/IP protocol suite and provides a basic understanding about each layer using plenty of diagrams complemented with supporting text.
A lot has changed in the networking area since I took a Computer Science course about the topic during my undergraduate days in the late '80s - wireless communications, Internet telep...more

I have read this book during my studying for IT/Networking. I took it as a reference in many coerces, it gives you a clear and a sophisticated way of explaining networking and layers and how they work. Highly recommend

way too long. way too in depth. insanely dry. not at all the best text for an undergraduate introductory networking class. too much communications and information theory math. not enough focus on networking. what would be more useful would be a slightly more in depth Network+ guide. been a professional in the field for a long time, and i've never used about 900 pages of the material in this book. though, that intimates that i believe understanding the underpinnings of a thing is less important t...more

It's over 1200 pages yet still it's only a 'brief overview'. I read it cover to cover, and though I was never bored, it certainly wasn't exciting. If I had to do multiple readings (which I do) my preference is definitely with Tanenbaum's 'Computer Networks'. Meanwhile, I can't help wonder what else I could be doing with my time instead of repeatedly reading data communication textbooks (ie like reading Atlas Shrugged, 2666, Ulysses, Kingkiller Chronicles, 1Q84, Infinite Jest, etc). But we all ha...more

PROS:
This is a good textbook for introductory courses to networking. The chapters include detailed yet easy to grasp explanations of the topics covered, often with figures and demonstrations.
CONS:
This textbook was prescribed for my course so I had to study it in depth.There are NUMEROUS errors/typos in the examples and chapter questions. Also, some of the figures (e.g. IP addressing) contain incorrect data. Unless you study/read this book actively, you may miss on these parts.

An interesting and wonderful course..It was really easy and I enjoyed my time..I did very well during the semester except the final which was really easy but I didn't do well on it..But at the end I was really satisfied with my results..
And after taking this course I decided to specialize on networking.

Seiring dengan berakhirnya semester maka saya nyatakan buku ini selesai dibaca :).
Buku nan tebal ini membahas A sampai Z mengenai jaringan komputer. Mengenai jaringan komputer, buku-buku Pak Forouzan bisa dijadikan pegangan.

Forozan has a simple straightforward language. This book is best chosen as an introductory to the networking field.

Title: Data Communications and Networking, 5th Edition
Author: Behrouz A. Forouzan
Length: 1264 pages
Edition: 5
Language: English
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Publication Date: 2012-02-17

Data Communications and Networking, 5th Edition
is designed to help students understand the basics of data
communications and networking, and the protocols used in the Internet in
particular by using the protocol layering of the Internet and TCP/IP
protocol suite. Technologies related to data communication and
networking may be the fastest growing in today's culture. The appearance
of some new social networking applications is a testimony to this
claim. In this Internet-oriented society, specialists need to be trained
to run and manage the Internet, part of the Internet, or an
organization's network that is connected to the Internet. As both the
number and types of students are increasing, it is essential to have a
textbook that provides coverage of the latest advances, while presenting
the material in a way that is accessible to students with little or no
background in the field.


Using a bottom-up approach, Data Communications and Networking
presents this highly technical subject matter without relying on complex
formulas by using a strong pedagogical approach supported by more than
830 figures. Now in its Fifth Edition, this textbook brings the
beginning student right to the forefront of the latest advances in the field, while presenting the fundamentals
in a clear, straightforward manner. Students will find better coverage,
improved figures and better explanations on cutting-edge material. The
'bottom-up' approach allows instructors to cover the material in one
course, rather than having separate courses on data communications and
networking.
