Effective TCP/IP Programming
44 Tips to Improve Your Network Programs
Parution le 10/05/2000
Résumé
Programming in TCP/IP can seem deceptively simple.
Nonetheless, many network programmers recognize that their
applications could be much more robust. Effective TCP/IP
Programming is designed to boost programmers to a higher
level of competence by focusing on the protocol suite's
more subtle features and techniques. It gives you the
know-how you need to produce highly effective TCP/IP
programs.
In forty-four concise, self-contained lessons, this book offers experience-based tips, practices, and rules of thumb for learning high-performance TCP/IP programming techniques. Moreover, it shows you how to avoid many of TCP/IP's most common trouble spots. Effective TCP/IP Programming offers valuable advice on such topics as:
- Exploring IP addressing, subnets, and CIDR
- Preferring the sockets interface over XTI/TLI
- Using two TCP connections
- Making your applications event-driven
- Using one large write instead of multiple small writes
- Avoiding data copying
- Understanding what TCP reliability really means
- Recognizing the effects of buffer sizes
- Using tcpdump, traceroute, netstat, and ping effectively
Through individual tips and explanations, you will acquire an overall understanding of TCP/IP's inner workings and the practical knowledge needed to put it to work. Using Effective TCP/IP Programming, you'll speed through the learning process and quickly achieve the programming capabilities of a seasoned pro.
