- yes,
- Data Communications Computer Networks and Open Systems, by Fred
- Halsall
- Addison Wesley,
- make sure you get the 3rd edition (1992)
- ISBN 0 201 56506 4
-
- its very clear, very up to date, un-partisan and yopu can even get the
- overhead transparencies
-
- for a more implementation oriented book (but assumes a lot of
- pre-knowledge) the Open Book by mtr is the best
- as mentioned by others
