I read the chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6, & 12 I really enjoy reading this book and I look forward to reading more chapters. Enjoy reading other students in my class. It goes into just enough detail about the electronics behind the scenes, but nothing major. It also provides a good overview of the network, without springing the reader with boring facts. The book starts with the OSI model and guides the reader through each layer. It is a great book and I encourage all teachers looking for a manual to test it will be your students do not regret it. * Also suitable for anyone interested in networking for the first time, or someone who wants to see the whole picture. 6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Easy to read and understand the chrome I used this book for an Internet class, so I ended up reading the entire book from the first chapter to the end. It was a little boring at times but it made it easy to understand the material and diagrams were great. The only problem was how to say in the first chapters, which was held at the scale of the book and what chapter you're studying, what and when .
