Re: Computer Networks: A Systems Approach
#2I read this book during my systems and advanced networking courses at ETH Zurich years ago. As a hard copy, it is an impressively heavy compendium of knowledge but very relevant to everyone that even remotely touches networking on a daily basis.
I remember it to be quite a pleasant read, despite being very technical and crazy long (could also be that I just like the topic).

Why should it be free? You work for free?

#7I had never heard of this book. It’s really incredible. I’m curious as to how people think about the “systems” approach to networking vs the traditional.

#8I have also read Kurose and Ross (and other books) but this is another classic of the field and definitely recommended.
Besides it being open source, it's kind of exciting that it has some coverage of topics like virtual networks, SDN, advanced congestion control, etc..

#9Amazing books, but I'm not sure it is a good idea with such huge pictures (3462 × 2176px thumbnails), even though it of course is simpler than adding multiple sizes etc. RIP mobile users.

Seems an ideal use case for SVG.
