As a serious textbook covering both designs and selected implementations in
open source, the following textbook of ours could fit the courses of
Computer Networks for senior undergraduates or 1st-year graduates.
Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach, Ying-Dar Lin, Ren-Hung Hwang,
Fred Baker, McGraw-Hill, February 2011.

Subject: [Tccc] Recommendation for a network textbook for an IT course?
Does anybody have a recommendation for a textbook for a first
networking course for an Information Technology degree program?
I'm looking for something with readability of Kurose and Ross,
but with significantly more emphasis on the practical aspects
that a network administrator would need.
Many of the hands-on books I've seen are pretty awful and don't
have any technical depth; I'm looking for a serious university
textbook, not a dummies type book.
Thanks,
James
