Good book for Computer Networking

Posted 19 February 2010 - 11:21 AM

Hey all,

I am interested in learning more about Computer Networking and / or working with distributed systems. I was wondering if anyone had any good resources /textbooks that I might look at to improve my skills in this area?

This is pretty much the bible on protocols:
http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/0201633469

It has labs you can work through and the author goes over usage of tools to diagnose networks. This is really low-level protocol stuff too though, so it might not be what you're looking for exactly, but you learning the fundamentals in this book should make the grander scheme of networking more elucidated.

Take care.
