OSI layers explained like never before ! I finally understood how each layer abstracts over the other and where protocols like Ethernet , Wifi fit in.
The explanation for packet switching opposed to circuit switching in networks similar to how browsers now hold only 1 connection active and multiplex packets from different destinations was marvellous ! Finally grok-ed TCP ! Great stuff here !

This book does a terrific job explaining how tcp/udp datagrams are sent from one server in one subnetwork to another server on another subnetwork showing along the way in baby steps what everything means and its purpose : NIC, NAT, WAN, LAN !
Superb !

Terrific job at explaining the Network stack. For example the layers that in university are just mentioned here i rlly got a feel on how Ethernet protocol (link layer) translates packets to underlying hardware layer (coaxial).
Then i finally understood that in order to connect two hosts that use different link layers you need an abstraction layer on top , which is the network layer.
So grateful for this book !
