Book description
Programming in TCP/IP can seem deceptively simple. Nonetheless, many network programmers recognize that their applications could be much more robust. Effective TCP/IP Programming is designed to boost programmers to a higher level of competence by focusing on the protocol suite's more subtle features and techniques. It gives you the know-how you need to produce highly effective TCP/IP programs.
In forty-four concise, self-contained lessons, this book offers experience-based tips, practices, and rules of thumb for learning high-performance TCP/IP programming techniques. Moreover, it shows you how to avoid many of TCP/IP's most common trouble spots. Effective TCP/IP Programming offers valuable advice on such topics as:
Exploring IP addressing, subnets, and CIDR
Preferring the sockets interface over XTI/TLI
Using two TCP connections
Making your applications event-driven
Using one large write instead of multiple small writes
Avoiding data copying
Understanding what TCP reliability really means
Recognizing the effects of buffer sizes
Using tcpdump, traceroute, netstat, and ping effectively
Numerous examples demonstrate essential ideas and concepts.
Skeleton code and a library of common functions allow you to write
applications without having to worry about routine chores.Through
individual tips and explanations, you will acquire an overall
understanding of TCP/IP's inner workings and the practical
knowledge needed to put it to work. Using Effective TCP/IP
Programming, you'll speed through the learning process and
quickly achieve the programming capabilities of a seasoned
pro.
