actually, this raises a pretty steep question for me:
i love my TCP/IP illustrated. its superb, clean, efficient .. but
outdated. since its publication, a host of specific applications have
really taken the limelight, and bring new protocol concerns and
particulars, not to mention security issues (which can be addressed after
a thorough understanding of the protocol).
is there any text, any tome, even a series, that is as clean and
authoritative as stevens' series? i mean, the RFCs are great, but
sometimes dense and obtuse ... stevens had a way of cutting right to what
was important.
thanks.
