The Book “Computer Networks: A Systems Approach” is now open source

Which undergraduate CS course uses this book ? I've never read this book but glossing over it, seems like an incredible resource for understanding the history of networks as well as building them from the ground up.

this is my all time favorite CS book, mostly because I remember how excited I was to finally be learning about how the Internet works when I started.. I've read it twice!

I literally memorized this book at one point for a really difficult exam. Glad to see it's open sourced!

I found a PDF here: http://cs.mvnu.edu/twiki/pub/Main/JimSkon/Computer_Networks_... And a Solutions manual PDF here: https://textbooks.elsevier.com/manualsprotectedtextbooks/978... and http://unina.stidue.net/Computer%20Networks%202/Materiale/Co... An entirely different book is here: https://www.bau.edu.jo/UserPortal/UserProfile/PostsAttach/10...

Cheers, now I have some reading tomorrow on the plane ride to Montreal!
