Unix Network Programming—The Sockets And Networking API (volume - 1)

0.0

This is the updated classic guide to UNIX Networking using Application Program Interface (API). To build today's highly distributed, networked applications and services, you need deep mastery of sockets and other key networking APIs. This book delivers comprehensive, start-to-finish guidance for building robust, high-performance networked systems in any environment. Building on the legendary work of W. Richard Stevens, this edition has been fully updated by two leading network programming experts to address today's most crucial standards, implementations, and techniques. New topics include: POSIX Single UNIX Specification Version 3 IPv6 APIs (including updated guidance on IPv6/IPv4 interoperability) The new SCTP transport protocol IPsec-based Key Management Sockets FreeBSD™ 4.8/5.1, Red Hat® Linux™ 9.x, Solaris™ 9, AIX® 5.x, HP-UX, and Mac OS® X implementations New network program debugging techniques Source Specific Multicast API, the key enabler for widespread IP multicast deployment. The authors also update and extend Stevens' definitive coverage of these crucial UNIX networking standards and techniques: TCP and UDP transport Sockets: elementary, advanced, routed, and raw I/O: multiplexing, advanced functions, nonblocking, and signal-driven Daemons and inetd UNIX domain protocols ioctl operations Broadcasting and multicasting Threads Streams Design: TCP iterative, concurrent, preforked, and prethreaded servers Table of Contents Foreword.
