SynopsisProvides thorough knowledge of Linux TCP/IP stack and kernel framework for its network stack Blends concepts and implementation under one cover., The only single-source reference on the concept and implementation of TCP/IP in Linux As open source software becomes a trusted part of business and research systems, its no wonder that a combination of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and the Linux operating system is becoming more common. TCP/IPs prevalence allows easy communication among computers using various operating systems, whether Windows, Mac OS, Linux, or Unix. And Linux because it is open source and thus modifiable has become a frequent choice for developers who want a customizable operating system on which to build their applications. This book describes the design and implementation of TCP/IP in Linux, from simple client-server applications to more complex executions. Topical coverage includes: Basic socket concepts and implementations The Linux implementation of network packets TCP read/write TCP algorithms for data transmission and congestion control TCP timers IP layer and routing tables implementation IP forwarding and quality of service implementation Netfilter hooks for the stacks Network Soft IRQ How to debug a TCP/IP stack All topics are discussed in a concise, step-by-step manner and the book is complemented with helpful illustrations to give readers a better understanding of the subject. TCP/IP Architecture, Design, and Implementation in Linux is an indispensable resource for embedded-network product developers, network security product developers, IT network architects, researchers, and graduate students., This book provides thorough knowledge of Linux TCP/IP stack and kernel framework for its network stack, including complete knowledge of design and implementation. Starting with simple client-server socket programs and progressing to complex design and implementation of TCP/IP protocol in linux, this book provides different aspects of socket programming and major TCP/IP related algorithms. In addition, the text features netfilter hook framework, a complete explanation of routing sub-system, IP QOS implementation, and Network Soft IRQ. This book further contains elements on TCP state machine implementation, TCP timer implementation on Linux, TCP memory management on Linux, and debugging TCP/IP stack using lcras, This book provides thorough knowledge of Linux TCP/IP stack and kernel framework for its network stack, including complete knowledge of design and implementation.
