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 and congestion control * TCP timers * IP layer and routing tables implementation * IP forwarding and quality of service implementation * Netfilter hooks for the stacks * Network Soft IRQ * How to debug a TCP/IP stack All topics are discussed in a concise, step-by-step manner and the book is complemented with helpful illustrations to give readers a better understanding of the subject. TCP/IP Architecture, Design, and Implementation in Linux is an indispensable resource for embedded-network product developers, network security product developers, IT network architects, researchers, and graduate students.
