Great book to learn basics of the networking from scratch. Easy for beginners and examples are made easy.

Book is a good introduction to computer networking. However the book goes for brevity instead of depth. This means it talks about a lot of topics at a very high level without providing much detail. For me I would have preferred a bit more detail.
