A one-of-a-kind description about using the Linux operating system on a TCP/IP network Boasting high-performance, high availability, and open source code, Linux has emerged as an optimal choice for an operating system. Yet for Linux to be adopted by the mainstream of Unix-based corporate and ISP networks, it must be capable of supporting the TCP/IP Internet protocol, like any other network operating system. This book provides the rapidly growing audience of Linux site managers, as well as researchers and developers worldwide, with the information they need on how Linux TCP/IP keeps the network running. Internationally recognized expert on Internetworking, Jon Crowcroft walks readers through the Linux TCP/IP protocol stack, offering detailed explanations on how Linux implements its communications protocols. Vinton Cerf--co-inventor of TCP/IP--is the technical editor for this book.

<p>This volume aims to document the authors' prescription for the architecture, the way the component services are fitted together to provide collaborative tools for video, audio and shared workspaces. The authors have decided to take a new approach to the field by using a prescriptive rather than descriptive style. The text is aimed at technical readers such as developers, undergraduate or postgraduate (MSc) courses on multimedia and networking, and professionals. The subjects covered include the network requirements, the media encoding techniques including basic compression techniques, the protocols (rtp/rtcp, rsvp etc.), the distributed algorithms for synchronization, reliability, security and so on.</p>
