The Computer Networking Handbook

This brand-new tech book is an invaluable resource for beginners, as well as for seasoned engineers working in the computer networking field. I know it’s a daring assertion, but the author’s simple, practical approach really works!

"The Computer Networking Handbook" begins by presenting basic concepts such as network types and topologies, and the detailed diagrams help readers understand and memorize the information without problems.

Later on, the author teaches readers how to build reliable and scalable networks from scratch, covering all there is to know about the process, including hardware configurations and the required software.

Network security is more important than ever, so Trevor Shelwick has ensured that key security protocols, firewalls, VPNs, and encryption are discussed comprehensively, helping network architects protect their networks from any potential threat.

Finally, the author focuses on ways to identify and solve common network-related problems, highlighting proven strategies that will help network admins optimize performance and maintain reliability.

If you have been looking for a book that offers a well-balanced mix of theory and real-world applications/examples, this is it.
