by Douglas Comer (Author), David L . Stevens (Author)
This volume extends the concepts discussed in Comer's first volume to show how to implement communication protocols in software. Providing an examination of the internals of TCP/IP protocal software, this volume covers the basic operating system concepts (eg interrupts, processes, semaphores and interprocess communications) and then explains the structure of TCP/IP software in terms of these facilities. The book discusses the protocols in the light of design alternatives, decisions and implementation techniques, contains working source code for most protocols, including ARP, TCP, IP and RIP, reviews an example implementation from a working system, and defines structures, constants and code for procedures and processes in C.
