Product Description

Product 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: *T/TCP (TCP for Transactions), an extension to TCP that makes client-server transactions faster, more efficient, and more reliable; *HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the foundation for the rapidly expanding World Wide Web; *NNTP (the Network News Transfer Protocol), the basis for the Usenet news system; and *UNIX Domain Protocols, a set of protocols used heavily in UNIX implementations. 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. 0201634953B04062001

2.0 out of 5 stars The sequel to a sequel - doesn't live up to Vol 1 and 2, 27 Mar 1998
By A Customer
Volume 1 covered the basic - down to the nitty, gritty bits. Volume 2 gave us the source. Volume 3 tells us about T/TCP and HTML. Not more, not less... I devoured the first two volumes - and just browsed the third.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stevens' left-overs, 25 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Inadequate coverage of HTTP, which has had much added to it since this book was written. Transactions for TCP are probably not very interesting for many people, as its a protocol that never seems to have taken off - though it was Stevens pet project.

Whilst I wouldn't hesistate to recomment the 1st 2 volumes (and the 2 UNP volumes and APUE), I'd say that this one is less than essential.
