Computer Networks book

Finally finished a book "Computer Networks" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Davis Wetherall.
It is really good academic introduction for everyone interested in and works with computer networks.
A good explanation of how the networks works on each level is given. All popular protocols, network security, encryption and compression algorithms are reviewed. This book helps to organize knowledge about all these issues.
Moreover at the end of this book (and in the text of each chapter) a good list of further reading is included.
Highly recommend to look at this book.
