The TCP/IP Guide is “Larry’s Tip o' the Month”: “In short, this is a really well-done book, and well worth the price if you need up-to-date, easy-to-digest information about TCP/IP. I wish I'd written this puppy.”

“Kozierok's description of IPv4 addressing is probably the clearest I have ever read. And his chapters about IP subnetting and classless addressing are masterful. If I ever teach communication protocols again, my lecture notes will owe a great deal to this book…. I continue to be astounded that this much information, presented in a clear and entertaining fashion, is available for so little.”

WatchGuard Wire, December 8, 2005 (Read more)
