TCP/IP book for socket programming

Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone knows of a good TCP/IP book. The book that goes quite deep into theory of SYN, FIN, UDP, ICMP, etc. I want to use this book to gain knowledge about the TCP/IP packets and connections for my socket programming studies.

Cheers

I'd recommend "UNIX Network Programming" (Stevens).This is the standard book about sockets.

But there's also a free book on the subject: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

And of course, from the same author: "TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1"

and don't forget "advanced programming in the unix environment" also by stevens.

not cheap but worth every penny.
