Abstract

TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 is a complete and detailed guide to the entire TCP/IP protocol suite - with an important difference from other books on the subject. Rather than just describing what the RFCs say the protocol suite should do, this unique book uses a popular diagnostic tool so you may actually watch the protocols in action.By forcing various conditions to occur - such as connection establishment, timeout and retransmission, and fragmentation - and then displaying the results, TCP/IP Illustrated gives you a much greater understanding of these concepts than words alone could provide. Whether you are new to TCP/IP or you have read other books on the subject, you will come away with an increased understanding of how and why TCP/IP works the way it does, as well as enhanced skill at developing aplications that run over TCP/IP.
