Editorial description(s):

From Book News, Inc.
Supplies details about the Internet protocol suite not covered by the first volume, which deals with principles, protocols, and architecture. Revises the code to use the ANSI-standard C subset of C++, including function prototypes and argument declarations; and updates SNMO to the version two standard, including replacing the address translation table and adding the UDP listener table. The first few chapter could be used in an advanced undergraduate course on networking and the text as a whole for a graduate course that delves into some of the more esoteric aspects of TCP. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Book Info
Provides an in-depth look at individual TCP/IP suite of protocols in light of design alternatives plus implementation techniques with actual ANSI C code, & the internals of protocol software, using widely accepted data-mark interpretation of TCP urgent data & discusses the consequences. DLC: Computer networks.


The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
This revision of a best seller provides an in-depth look at the TCP/IP Internet Protocols. It presents a complete implementation -- showing the internals of the TCP/IP protocol software -- with actual code. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From the Back Cover



97384-2

The Third Edition of this best-seller is a must for anyone working the TCP/IP suite of protocols.



The authors provide an in-depth look at individual TCP/IP protocols in light of design alternatives, implementation techniques with actual ANSI C code, and the internals of protocol software.



This book uses the widely accepted data-mark interpretation of TCP urgent data, a discussion of the consequences is included. Throughout the book the authors use a working system, which they designed and built using ANSI C, to explain the interaction among protocols, the complete implementation process, and the internal structure.




Book Description
ICMP, IGMP, UDP, ARP, RIP, SNMP, and a significant pat of OSPF. Reflects changes in the protocol standards and updates the example code to ANSI standard C. Uses the widely-accepted data-mark interpretation of TCP urgent data and discusses the consequences. MARKET: For anyone working the TCP/IP suite of protocols.

Reflects changes in the protocol standards and updates the example code to ANSI standard C. ? Contains working source code in ANSI C for most protocols including TCP, IP, ICMP, IGMP, UDP, ARP, RIP, SNMP, and a significant part of OSPF. ? Defines data structures, constants, and code for procedures and processes in ANSI standard C. ? Provides active experimentation with a working TCP/IP implementation. ? Implementation support for the IGMP protocol used for IP multicasting and multicast OSPF routing protocol used in applications such as audio and video multicast. ? Unique coverage of the Open Shortest path First link-state routing protocol designed by the IETF. ? Shows the latest interpretation of the urgent data processing.




Reader review(s):

Poorly indexed and not enough meat, March 10, 1999
A book which purports to be 'technical' should have an excellent index. The 3 volumes in the Comer set have an index rated at about 5 (out of 10). The style of writing is clear and well organized but the depth is only 6 or 7. I was looking for a real 'nuts and bolts' view and this volume/set didn't provide it. I own all 3 volumes but if I had to do it again I would buy the set by Stevens.

The actual code explained. I loved it., June 7, 2000
This volume presents a "C" code implementation of TCP/IP, along with detailed explanations of what the code accomplishes. I was able to get a working knowledge of how the protocol operates by reading the actual code and the accompanying explanations. As a systems engineer seeking a working knowledge of how TCP/IP operates, this book was exactly appropriate for me. I would highly recommend it to software engineers as well.

A sketchy guide to implementing theTCP/IP protocol stack, July 22, 1998
The book claims to provide programming insight needed to implement the TCP/IP protocol stack. It does so, but only at a basic level, often leaving code snippets unexplained. The authors do not appear to understand the code well enough to explain some crucial details. The style is somewhat pedagogical, and often tends to be patronizing, suggesting an intended audience of college students. The code base used for the illustration is not the BSD reference implementation. In summary, it is a useful enough book for TCP stack implementors, but readers are advised to also look at TCP Illustrated II by W. Richard Stevens.

Why settle for less, January 21, 1999
Why settle for less when you can get THE book series on the subject. I find this book very weak and I strongly recommand all the books from Richard Stevens (TCP/IP illustrated v1,2,3. APUE...) wich provide the best reference. This book is for beginner but not for people serious about the subject.

The only books to learn TCP/IP, August 29, 2000
Get all three volumes. There is no better way to learn TCP/IP. The read is excellent. The examples are very excellent. Definiirly, a classic for years to come.

Great for understanding TCP/IP implementation in OSes, July 13, 1999
Except for the strange choice of XINU as the illustrative OS, this book has a lot going for it. Readers familiar with UNIX would perhaps prefer "TCP/IP Illustrated,Vol II"

This book continues where Volume 1 left off, November 3, 1998
Volume 2 goes into greater detail than volume 1 and gives the reader a more complete understanding of TCP/IP. The text is readable and functions as an excellent reference on the interworkings of TCP/IP. I strongly recommend it to anyone working with TCP/IP.
