Understanding IP, TCP, and HTTP

Well, yeah, it's a book by the same name, but is it the same quality (well, it's not just the same name, of course, but a new author obviously can make a big change in quality, in either direction ;-)?

In any case, my recommendation was referring to the old edition by Stevens alone, no clue about the new one, though at least the newly covered material seems appropriate to me.

(For anyone who might not be aware: W. Richard Stevens died in 1999, so the new edition is by a different author, though apparently based on the old material.)

I have not worked through the entirety of the original, which I also own, but the new one seems pretty good to me so far. But you may have a different opinion as somebody who knows much more than me about TCP/IP.
