It's the *bible* of Network Communications. If I'm not mistaken, there is a
new version at the market. We use it here for entry level graduate computer
networking courses... The section on X.25 is quite comprehensive and surely
applies to AX.25 if we take in mind the differences that were made. IMHO, a
must for everyone that wants to understand what they are doing in Packet
Radio. Further, it doesn't go that much into the details of the effect of
window sizes, etc. on network efficiency, or queueing theory. But well,
that's most probably beyond our goal anyway (I -for one- had a terrible time
understanding the more advanced stuff, but then again-- I'm not a Computer
Scientist)
