DESCRIPTION:
This book provides the rapidly growing audience of Linux site managers, as well as researchers and developers worldwide, with the information they need on how Linux TCP/IP keeps the network running. Vinton Cerf--co-inventor of TCP/IP--is the technical editor for this book.. Internationally recognized expert on Internetworking, Jon Crowcroft walks readers through the Linux TCP/IP protocol stack, offering detailed explanations on how Linux implements its communications protocols. Yet for Linux to be adopted by the mainstream of Unix-based corporate and ISP networks, it must be capable of supporting the TCP/IP Internet protocol, like any other network operating system. A one-of-a-kind description about using the Linux operating system on a TCP/IP network Boasting high-performance, high availability, and open source code, Linux has emerged as a
"I could have downloaded kernel tcp code for free" according to H. W. I was cheated into believing this book might have a lot of meat in it because of number of pages (almost 1000 pages), but I was wrong when I started reading the book. Over 90% of the pages are kernel source code, literally, without any word addition or deduction. It might just include a CD ROM which contains the source code and make this book a better buy at 100 pages (if charge less also).This book wants to teach you tcp/ip protocol and try to sell you on the Linux front since it is hot today. But it fails in both aspects. The tcp/ip protocol de. Networking Concepts + Kernel Source Code Printout My opinion is this book is pretty much just some relatively high level networking concepts and a printout of a bunch of the Linux kernel source code.I guess some value add is supposed to be in giving some idea of which code fragments in the kernel source files do what, but I do not think it does a very good job of that, since it does not start with a top-down description of what needs to be done and then proceed towards more detailed views, finally ending up with annotated source code. It pretty much just gives the top level, and page after page . Another Disappointment Like most other readers of this book I'm very disappointed. With such prominent authors I was expecting more than a rehash of O/S and IPC concepts with generous reprints of un-annotated source code. Yes, I can read C code and they did say the book was for those well versed in reading C. However, if I wanted to take the time to read and understand the source code myself then I wouldn't have bothered spending $70. The book does at least give a good idea of exactly which pieces of code do what. However, this book is a far cry from Richard Stevens' b

Additionally, they examine network security, describing the various networking filtering techniques and applications. The book begins by examining the life cycle of a single packet, from creation to transmission and from reception to consumption. Complete with explanations and illustrations, this book shows you: * Ways in which protocol state and packet data are stored * How the format of packets are transmitted, forwarded, and received * Rules for processing user, network, and timer events * The progression of
