Computer Networks: A Systems Approach, with Bruce Davie and Larry Peterson OVS Orbit

Bruce Davie and Larry Peterson talk about their Systems Approach series of
books on computer networking. These books began with the textbook Computer Networks: A
Systems Approach, published in 1996. After publishing the fifth
edition in 2011, they took their book "open source" by making the text
freely available on
Github under a Creative Common license. Now the original book is
part of a series that also includes "micro-books" on SDN and 5G, with
more books in preparation. In this episode, Bruce and Larry talk about
their motivations and future plans, including trying to rope your host
into writing a book on Open vSwitch.




For more information on the series, visit systemsapproach.org or follow
the series on substack as systemsapproach or
