iBooks for Mac can read the epub, but Google Play Books rejects it: "This file cannot be processed."
The epubcheck utility reports more errors than I know what to do with. For example:
Error while parsing file 'value of attribute "lang" is invalid; must be an RFC 3066 language identifier'.
Error while parsing file 'value of attribute "id" is invalid; must be an XML name without colons'.
Error while parsing file 'element "figure" not allowed anywhere; expected the element end-tag, text or element "a", ..., "ul" or "var" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")'.
Is this likely a problem in the sources, GitBook, or something else about how the submitter built it?

I found a PDF here:

And a Solutions manual PDF here:

and

An entirely different book is here:

Cheers, now I have some reading tomorrow on the plane ride to Montreal!
This looks fantastic -- props to the whoever made the decision to open it up.
I literally memorized this book at one point for a really difficult exam. Glad to see it's open sourced!
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.
CS 640: Introduction to Computer Networks at University of Wisconsin - Madison, taught by Dr. Paul Barford:

We used an earlier edition of the textbook in 2003 (if memory serves, might be +/- a year), and per the link above, looks like they used it as recently as Fall 2017. I remember greatly enjoying the book and the course.

Awesome -- thanks for linking to the course itself. Seems similar to another course offered by OS MCS: https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/cs-6250-computer-networks
Computer Networking at SUNY Oswego, as taught by Doug Lea. At least it was used in 2012 when I took it. The hardcover is on my work bookshelf behind me now -- so useful I kept it.
It is still being used as of Spring 2018.
Great class.

Fantastic! Also "Operating Systems: Three Easy Steps" Authors have written up about Free/Open Source book experience. :-)

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!
