W. Richard STEVENS
is an acknowledged UNIX and networking expert and the highly-respected author of four best-selling books, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 (Addison-Wesley, 1994) and Volume 2 - with Gary R. Wright (Addison-Wesley, 1995), Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment (Addison-Wesley, 1992), and UNIX Network Programming (Prentice-Hall, 1990). He is also a sought-after instructor and consultant.

DESCRIPTION :

Praised by reviewers and practicing TCP/IP programmers alike, the TCP/IP Illustrated series examines the many facets of the TCP/IP protocol suite using a unique and highly-effective visual approach that describes the inner workings of TCP/IP with detail, insight, and clarity.

Volume 3 provides detailed coverage of four essential topics with which today's TCP/IP programmers and network administrators must be thoroughly familiar:

As in the previous two volumes, the book is filled with examples and implementation details within the 4.4BSD-Lite networking code.

The TCP/IP Illustrated series provides a complete picture of the protocol suite that drives the Internet, and gives programmers, system administrators, and serious users the information, understanding, and skills they need to remain at the forefront of networking technology.
