On the other hand, Exam Cram was extremely orderly and offered the most concise and understandable explanations of the TCP/IP suite. They helped the reader build a framework or context to hang all the information on rather than the seemingly endless flow of disconnected information presented in Sybex.
Also, I have read what the OSI model is in at least 6 books. This was the first time it was explained in way that gave it some "reality" rather than a mysterious abstraction.
When learning any subject from a book, the reader must "select" a distilled set of facts and relationships to put to memory. This book has effectively condensed the subject to the essential basics, so much less energy has to be spent on reduction. Everything is pertinent, no filtering needed.
The 5th printing has corrected most of the errors referred to by other reviewers.
I had taken the 3.51 version of this exam and have several years of MS TCP/IP experience so the information in the book was not all I had to go on. If you have a basic understanding of TCP/IP concepts and just want to get the facts (or Microsoft's version of them) right for the test, I reccomend this book.
The subnetting portion could have used a few more diagrams and explaining. This was the one section where I had to rely on other materials.
Overall, I reccomend this book for passing the exam.
