Here at Illinois (Urbana) we split the basic networks material into two courses with the division about halfway up the OSI hierarchy. I'm interested in good materials for the lower layers. I'm familiar with Tanenbaum, Bertsekas & Gallager, and Stallings. Other recommendations? -- Mike Faiman faiman@cs.uiuc.edu
