Description:
|
This book teaches readers how to program Linux sockets, and gives them everything they need to know to make programs communicate effetively over networks.
It presents a comprehensive discussion of all relevant topics including: writing programs compatible with both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6, raw sockets, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), broadcasting /multicasting, server internals, and more, plus a section covering Posix threads.
It provides thorough coverage of programming with the TCP, UDP, and IP protocols, as well as lower-level raw sockets. The myriad of function calls, data structures, and options associated with the APIs are explained with well-chosen diagrams and tables.
After reading this book, the reader will be able to:
-Differentiate basic datagrams vs. streaming sockets.
-Differentiate unicast, broadcast, and multicast sockets.
-Write socket-based network programs.
-Write portable code for various OS'.
-Implement client-server and peer communications
-Increase network throughput using "connectionless" communications
-Manage asynchronous I/O, I/O and multiple sockets.
-Use signals, threading and processes to manage socket connections.
-Understand new socket technologies like Mbone and 6bone.
-Understand Remote Procedure Calls and how to implement them.
-Understand the different socket addressing types.

Pros:
|
Overview about protocols, examples.
|
|
Cons:
|
Does not expose it thoroughly, some techniques are explained unclear.
|
This is a good book for anyone who wants to understand how network protocols work and have no clue about it. It provides a good overview about well-known protocols such as IP, TCP, UDP. You will be able to write socket programs under the C programming language. Of course, a C knowledge is required. Last, the Spanish translation is dreadful.
