The organization is slightly odd, with discussions of data link and routing coming before flow control and access contention, but the content is basically sound. The material, and particularly the chapter end questions, show a decided preference for the engineering curriculum. Those wanting practical information may wish to pursue other sources. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1994 BKFNTLNT.RVW 941128.
