Synopsis
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 an optimal choice for an operating system. 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. 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. 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. Vinton Cerf--co-inventor of TCP/IP--is the technical editor for this book., "This remarkable book ought to be titled 'TCP/IP illustrated'! In clear and concise language and figures, the authors take the reader on a programmer's dream guide to Linux on the 'Net. If you need to know how it works, this is the book that should be in your library."--Vinton Cerf TCP/IP and Linux Protocol Implementation Boasting high performance, high availability, and open source code, Linux has emerged as the optimal choice for an operating system. Yet for Linux to be adopted by the mainstream, it must be capable of supporting the TCP/IP Internet protocol. With this comprehensive book, you'll be taken step by step through the process of how Linux TCP/IP keeps the network running. Leading expert Jon Crowcroft explores the Linux TCP/IP protocol stack, offering detailed explanations of how Linux implements its communications protocols. The book begins by examining the life cycle of a single packet, from creation to transmission and from reception to consumption. You'll then find an overview of socket programming and learn about the kernel infrastructure support for communications in general. The authors also walk you through the implementation of the network layer code of support and describe the transport protocol implementations. Additionally, they examine network security, describing the various networking filtering techniques and applications. 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 the set of tasks involved in communication The set of actions carried out by the system manager Networking Council Books put technology into perspective for decision-makers who need an implementation strategy, a vendor and outsourcing strategy, and a product and design strategy. The series advisors are three of the most influential leaders of the networking community: LYMAN CHAPIN-Chief Scientist at NextHop Technologies, former Chief Scientist at BBN, and founding trustee of the Internet Society SCOTT BRADNER-Senior Consultant for Harvard University, Transport Area Director IETF, trustee of the Internet Society, and ISOC VP of Standards VINTON CERF-Senior Vice President for Internet Architecture and Technology at MCI WorldCom, founding President of the Internet Society, and co-inventor of TCP/IP Wiley Computer Publishing Timely.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
