Certification

In this book, Douglas E. Comer -- one of the world's leading TCP/IP experts -- presents comprehensive, up-to-date guidance for developing robust, C-based TCP/IP applications. This Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest ANSI C standards, and to deliver in-depth coverage of CIDR addressing, CIDR route lookup, and DHCP.This fully revised and updated Fourth Edition provides in-depth coverage of developing with every major TCP/IP protocol, including TCP, IP, ICMP, IGMPv2, UDP, APR, RIP2, SNMPv3, and OSPF -- including detailed ANSI C source code. Comer introduces the challenges of TCP/IP network programming, covers key design and architectural alternatives, and presents real-world implementation techniques. Using a complete TCP/IP working model, the authors demonstrate the interactions among protocols, walk through the entire implementation process, review the internal structure of TCP/IP applications, and provide a strong platform for readers to experiment. The book contains in-depth coverage of CIDR, demonstrating techniques for reducing the size of routing tables and making more IP addresses available within organizations. It also includes a full chapter on programming DHCP to automate the configuration of desktops for Internet access.For every network programmer building Internet applications with TCP/IP.

Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol 2: Design, Implementation, and Internals (4th Edition)

Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume III describes the fundamental concepts of client-server computing used to build all distributed computing systems, and presents an in-depth guide to the Posix sockets standard utilized by Linux and other operating systems. Dr. Douglas E. Comer compares leading server designs, and describes the key tools and techniques used to build clients and servers, including Remote Procedure Call (RPC). The book contains examples of running programs that illustrate each approach.Comer introduces the client-server model and its software design implications; the role of concurrent processing and threads; the Socket API, and differences that impact Linux programmers. Understand the key algorithms and issues associated with client and server software design; then review three leading approaches: iterative, connectionless servers (UPD); and both iterative and concurrent connection-oriented servers (TCP). The book contains extensive coverage of threading, including a new chapter on using threads for concurrency; as well as coverage of single-threaded and multi-threaded concurrent servers. Comer introduces multi-protocol and multi-service services; reviews client concurrency; tunneling at the transport and application levels; and external data representation (XDR). He reviews RPC, distributed program generation, NFS concepts and protocol; Telnet; streaming media transport; and finally, techniques for avoiding deadlock and starvation in client-server systems.For everyone who wants to master TCP/IP and understand how the Internet works.

Internetworking With Tcp/Ip: Client-Server Programming and Applications

Stevens, David L.

This clearly written and logically organized book allows the reader to gain a deeper understanding of computer networks and internets by asserting that the best way to learn is by doing: it allows for hands-on experience with a real network. The book is organized into six sections that each consider a hardware platform, from the most basic (free-standing, single computer) to the most advanced (powerful and expensive facilities), and outlines experiments that can be carried out using these platforms.   Through experiments, readers learn that interconnecting hardware, configuring software, measuring performance, observing protocols in action, and creating client-server programs over a network all help sharpen understanding.   For network engineers, managers, programmers, networking professionals, system administrators, others in the field of computer programming with an internet aspect.

Hands-On Networking with Internet Technologies

Prentice Hall, c.2002

This textbook for a two-semester undergraduate course in networking is divided into four sections--low-level transmission, packet switching, internetworking, and network applications. The new edition adds three chapters on tools students can use to explore the Internet, long-distance digital connection technologies, and RPC and middleware. The CD-ROM includes photographs of network wiring. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The Complete Tcp/Ip Training Course: Student

If you really want to understand how the Internet and other computer networks operate, start with Computer Networks and Internets, Third Edition. Douglas E. Comer, who helped build the Internet, presents an up-to-the-minute tour of the Internet and internetworking, from low-level data transmission wiring all the way up to Web and chat services and other Internet application software. The new edition contains extensive coverage of network programming, as well as authoritative introductions to many new Internet protocols and technologies, from CIDR addressing to Network Address Translation (NAT).Comer explains every layer of the network protocol stack, showing exactly how facilities and services provided by one layer are used and extended in the next. Discover how networking hardware utilizes carrier signals, modulation and encoding; why internets use packet switching; how LANs, local loops, WANs, public and private networks work; and how protocols like TCP support internetworking. Learn the client/server model at the heart of most network applications, and understand key Internet/Web technologies including CGI, DNS, E-mail, ADSL, cable modems, and more. This new edition includes a complete new chapter on static and automatic Internet routing, introducing key concepts such as Autonomous Systems and hop metrics. It also provides a thorough introduction to network programming with three sample applications; detailed new coverage of CIDR addressing; a step-by-step guide to configuring Network Address Translation in home and small-business networks; and a full chapter on label switching and virtual circuits. Douglas Comer has been a respected leader of the Internet community for decades. If you're interested in how networking and the Internet work, you won't find a better guide.For anyone interested in how the Internet and other computer networks work.

Computer Networks and Internets, with Internet Applications (3rd Edition)

Network System Design Using Network Processors is the right book at the right time. Networking expert Douglas Comer divides this book into four major sections: a quick review of basics and packet header formats; Traditional Protocol Processing Systems; Network Processors - an independent overview of the technology, including motivation, economics, inherent complexities, and various examples of commercial architectures; and Intel's network processor. Network processor complexity is boiled down and simplified by allowing readers to see example code for a commercial processor, detailed explanations on the motivation and economics behind the technology, and a glossary for quick reference. The book's scope includes the concepts, principles, and hardware and software architectures that are the underpinnings of the design and implementation of network systems including routers, bridges, switches, intrusion detection systems, and firewalls - all independent of vendor specifics. An excellent fusion of network processing design principles, current architectures, and architectural directions, it is sure to become the standard text for this field the minute it hits the shelves.
