"Everyone will want this book because it
provides a great mix of practical experience, historical
perspective, and a depth of understanding that only comes from
being intimately involved in the field. I've already enjoyed and
learned from reading this book, and surely you will too."
-Sam Leffler
The classic guide to UNIX networking APIs... now
completely updated!
To build today's highly distributed, networked
applications and services, you need deep mastery of sockets and
other key networking APIs. One book delivers comprehensive,
start-to-finish guidance for building robust, high-performance
networked systems in any environment: UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Third
Edition.
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
Since 1990, network programmers have turned to
one source for the insights and techniques they need: W. Richard
Stevens' UNIX Network Programming.
Now, there's an edition specifically designed for today's
challenges-and tomorrow's.
