TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2: The Implementation by Gary R. Wright

Description

TCP/IP Illustrated , an ongoing series covering the many facets of TCP/IP, brings a highly-effective visual approach to learning about this networking protocol suite. TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 contains a thorough explanation of how TCP/IP protocols are implemented. There isn't a more practical or up-to-date bookothis volume is the only one to cover the de facto standard implementation from the 4.4BSD-Lite release, the foundation for TCP/IP implementations run daily on hundreds of show more thousands of systems worldwide. Combining 500 illustrations with 15,000 lines of real, working code, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 uses a teach-by-example approach to help you master TCP/IP implementation. You will learn about such topics as the relationship between the sockets API and the protocol suite, and the differences between a host implementation and a router. In addition, the book covers the newest features of the 4.4BSD-Lite release, including multicasting, long fat pipe support, window scale, timestamp options, and protection against wrapped sequence numbers, and many other topics. Comprehensive in scope, based on a working standard, and thoroughly illustrated, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone working with TCP/IP. show less

It's astonishing to realize how much TCP/IP revolutionized the way the world works. When this book was first written, there were still a dozen or more fading competitors to the TCP and IP protocol suite (including OSI, SNI, DECNet, and others too obscure to mention).

If you honestly need to understand how all the bits and pieces of the network works, and need to implement (or update) them, this book is a must for your book shelf. Do NOT buy this as an ebook; it's something you need to be able to bookmark, and to look at figures showing packet headers, and variable names, and so on.

It's another one that you need on your bookshelf.
