From RFC1175:
Rose, Marshall T., The Open Book: A Practical Perspective on OSI, 651
pgs., Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1989.
This is a comprehensive book about Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI). In particular, this book focuses on the pragmatic aspects
of OSI: what OSI is, how OSI is implemented, and how OSI is
integrated with existing networks. In order to provide this
pragmatic look at OSI the book makes consistent comparisons and
analogies of the OSI pieces with the TCP/IP suite of networking
protocols.
What do you think about the book? Is it worth buying?
What I am after is a book which would be an equivalent of the Comer's
book on Internet but obout OSI.
How would you compare it with the Comer's book on Internet?
Is it similar in style, depth, objective and clarity?
I'll summarise if enough responses received.
Thank you.
