any Internet professional's library.''

``In a world of complexity, the ability to convey knowledge as opposed to

Few make it seem as easy as Doug Comer, whose book Internetworking
Volume 1 continues to play a key role in teaching us about the role
of protocols in the ever-changing Internet.''
- Dr. Balachander Krishnamurthy, AT&T Labs
``Doug Comer remains the first and best voice of Internet technology.
Despite the legion of `Internet carpetbaggers' (the current crop of `authors'
who can barely spell F-T-P) which contributes noise - but no knowledge - on
the Internet and its infrastructure, Dr. Comer shines through as the premiere
source for lucid explanations and accurate information.
He sets a standard for which many strive, but precious few attain.''
- Marshall Rose, Dover Beach Consulting and IETF Area Director
``Comer's Volume 1 drastically changed the course of networking history.''
Rapid evolution of the Internet is happening as the entire world uses
the Internet on a daily, hourly, or even continuous basis (as is the
case with my grandchildren).
Comer accurately tracks the relevant
technological underpinnings for those building the Internet today.''
- Dan Lynch, Founder of Interop and former IAB Member
``...one of the best textbooks I have ever read.''
