Summary: I bought this at 2002.
Comment: I bought this book at 2002, 10 years after the publishing.
I read as text book of networkin protocol.
Especially, slotted multiaccess and aloha system.
My PhD paper was based on delay models in data networsk such as section 3.
Thanks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for Reference and Fundamentals
Comment: 'Data Networks' proves an excellent source for Delay/Queue Models, Routing concepts and Flow Control. Most Topics cover concepts as well as provide research material. A Great reference and study text.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for beginers, but magnificent for serious readers
Comment: I higherly recommend this book to anyone who is serious in the data networking area. You do need a lot math to appreciate the book, but I guess that's the only way to really understand data networking also. And, don't be scared by the math, if you sit down, follow through the math carefully, you will find the math in this book is clearly presented and easy to understand.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: too much maths...
Comment: The book is full of formuales.it does not build concepts by starting from the simple and then moving to more complex topics.a lot of the derivations are left unfinished to be worked out by the reader.Not a book I would recommend for a beginner.I really wish they had a lot more solved examples..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor introductory choice - A reference book at best
Comment: This book, while it may be a somewhat useful reference tool, is the epitome of a worthless textbook. A good, comprehensive textbook is well organized, explains concepts thoroughly and provides worked theoretical and numerical examples. This book fails on all 3 points. It seems the authors are so full of themselves that they can't stoop to the level of proving anything stated in the book. Virtually all proofs in this book are left as end of the chapter exercises. This begs one question: If I could work the proofs of all the problems in this book why would I buy the book in the first place? This books is yet another example of a textbook written by university professors who don't know how to explain concepts to students. Notice the fact that most of the positive reviews for this book are from people well versed in the topic - those in industry or those pursuing PhD's on the topic. This is indicative of the fact that this book is NOT for beginners. Also, the title is misleading - this book is strictly on mathmatical models of data networks. Anyone looking for specifics of any data networking scheme should certainly look elsewhere.
