TCP/IP Architecture, Design and Implementation in Linux

The only single–source reference on the concept and implementation of TCP/IP in Linux As open source software becomes a trusted part of business and research systems, it?s no wonder that a combination of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and the Linux operating system is becoming more common. TCP/IP?s prevalence allows easy communication among computers using various operating systems, whether Windows, Mac OS, Linux, or Unix. And Linux—because it is open source and thus modifiable—has become a frequent choice for developers who want a customizable operating system on which to build their applications. This book describes the design and implementation of TCP/IP in Linux, from simple client–server applications to more complex executions. Topical coverage includes: Basic socket concepts and implementations The Linux implementation of network packets TCP read/write TCP algorithms for data transmission...
