+1 for Perlman's Interconnections. I love her humor peppered throughout. On Tuesday, September 16, 2014, John Kristoff <jtk@cymru.com> wrote:

What is the single best book you have read on networking?
I couldn't narrow it down to one, but since it hasn't been mentioned already, Radia Perlman's Interconnections. Her's is utterly fantastic largely in part because she often explains why some things are the way they are (how we got what we have) and sometimes why what we have isn't always so great. Other great books mentioned take a similar tack, they go beyond what is in written specs.
