Good read
Up to date information. Though generally I think, due to very high speed of research, authors need to come up with some better idea than churning out a new edition every so many years. Generally text books are getting too expensive these days. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New Network Computing: A Top Down Approach
The book was purchased for a computer course required reading. It is an excellent source of reading material. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Not as advertised
Advertised as exactly the same as the US edition, but there are differences found in the problem sets.
What is the top down approach in computer system?
