| I just shared the same link. Agreed, it's fantastic.

| one I have read is Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach by
| Kurose and Ross. When learning CN for the first time, I like

| moving towards the physical layer. Their figures are also quite
| intuitive.

| TCP/IP Illustrated is still one of the best books about

| As well a CS researcher.
