A top-down, layered approach to computer networking

Unique among computer networking texts, the 8th Edition, Global Edition, of the popular Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach builds on the authors' long tradition of teaching this complex subject through a layered approach in a 'top-down manner.'

The text works its way from the application layer down toward the physical layer, motivating students by exposing them to important concepts early in their study of networking. Focusing on the Internet and the fundamentally important issues of networking, this text provides an excellent foundation for students in computer science and electrical engineering, without requiring extensive knowledge of programming or mathematics. The 8th Edition, Global Edition, has been updated to reflect the most important and exciting recent advances in networking, including the importance of software-defined networking (SDN) and the rapid adoption of 4G/5G networks and the mobile applications they enable.

    The pages in the global print edition are literally transparent. I am not joking. When reading a page, you can not only see the back side, but also the following page. You always see *three* sides of text overlaid together, which makes the book near impossible to read.

    Take a look at the picture I attached. No joke, you can see three pages of text at the same time.

    I'm not sure if it's Pearson (who, by the way, is apparently introducing NFT textbooks--make of this what you will), or the international publisher in Malaysia, but it's clear they are penny pinching by making the pages as thin as toilet paper.

    Avoid at all costs. Maybe avoid Pearson as well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fantástico contenido, pero mala calidad de papel para lectura mantenida bajo luz intensa
    Reviewed in Spain on 10 November 2022
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    El libro de Kurose es una fantástica guia del mundo de las redes, que define a un nivel de detalle casi enfermizo sus aspectos hardware y software. Nos han pedido su lectura completa para una ingeniería informática, y realmente no me extraña, sus contenidos son excepcionales. En ese sentido, el contenido (texto en inglés) es de diez.

    Sin embargo tengo un serio problema con esta edición impresa, las hojas que son algo satinadas al tacto, dependiendo de las condiciones lumínicas hacen un reflejo MUY molesto. No es un reflejo que de el papel más convencional, que absorbe la luz. Es absolutamente horrible para un lectura detallada de un rato largo. Envio una foto donde se ve como el papel devuelve parte de la luz del flash de mi móvil, algo que ningún libro debería de hacer, porque esa sensación de que las letras "se iluminan", es nefasta para largas lecturas, y hay que estar cuidando el ángulo de la lámpara flexo en caso que uséis una, porque según la incidencia de la luz apenas os dejará leer.
