TCP/IP Illustrated: The Implementation v. 2 (APC)

An indispensable resource for anyone working with TCP/IP, Volume 2 is the only one to cover the de facto standard implementation from the 4.4BSD-Lite release. Combining more than 500 illustrations with 15,000 lines of working code, the book 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.
