What literature to start learning about the network?

Question

Computer networks

Knowledge of the Network (Protocols, how networks are built, topology (Tree, Star, Bus), hardware part, etc.)
Tell me which book to start learning from?
I found: Computer Networks - V. Olifer N. Olifer 4th edition (Have I chosen the right book to start with?)
Then I came across - Computer Networks 5th edition of Tanenbaum.

Answer 1

Yes, both of these books are top-notch and everyone advises them. I liked Tanenbaum more.
In general, one holy man wrote an excellent series of articles "Networks for the smallest" where he described complex things in an extremely simple way. Worth reading.

Answer 2

No difference. The main thing is to start.

Answer 3

Olifers are simpler, Tannenbaum is more academic, but in principle both are suitable.

Answer 4

One of the most accessible books for beginners that I have come across:

Answer 5

Network for dummies will be enough.
