1) Hardcover Book Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) by Morgan Kaufmann. Davies et al wrote a very good book that is aimed at those that want to design and build products that work in a network. It´s detailed and has great insight on how a network actually works (or should work). If you are looking for a book on how to implement a network, go buy a Cisco press book. However if you are looking for a book on how to build products to work in a network, this one fits just nicely.¤

2) Hardcover Book Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) by Morgan Kaufmann. This was a required textbook for one of my courses, so I started out by borrowing a copy from the library, but I liked the book so much, that I ended up buying it.

This book gives an excellent insight into the design decisions that went into original TCP/IP design, the subsequent problems and the changes that were made to counter those. The problem set after each chapter is interesting and rigorous.

One downside, though, is that it does not focus so much on the application layer of TCP/IP model.¤

3) Hardcover Book Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) by Morgan Kaufmann. Highly recommended for any foundation level Computer Networks course.
Excellent cover & page quality.¤

4) Hardcover Book Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) by Morgan Kaufmann. I´ve read all of the standard CS networks textbooks for both undergrad and grad classes. This one is my favorite as both an introduction to networking and as a reference for graduate coursework. The new 4th edition updates and expands coverage in the 4 years since the 3rd edition was covered. Highly recommended.¤

5) Hardcover Book Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) by Morgan Kaufmann. Computer Networks, 4E is the only introductory computer networking book written by authors who have had first-hand experience with many of the protocols discussed in the book, who have actually designed some of them as well, and who are still actively designing the computer networks today.

This newly revised edition continues to provide an enduring, practical understanding of networks and their building blocks through rich, example-based instruction. The authors´ focus is on the why of network design, not just the specifications comprising today´s systems but how key technologies and protocols actually work in the real world to solve specific problems. The new edition makes less use of computer code to explain protocols than earlier editions. Moreover, this new edition shifts the focus somewhat higher in the protocol stack where there is generally more innovative and exciting work going on at the application and session layers than at the link and physical layers.

* Completely updated with new sidebar discussions that cover the deployment status of protocols described in the book.
* Addition of sizeable number of new exercises and solutions.
* Downloadable Opnet network simulation software and lab experiments manual.
* New and revised instructor support material, including Powerpoint slides, eps version of figures appearing in the text; sample exams; lecture notes; UNIX sockets programming assignments.¤
