A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Programming in TCP/IP can seem deceptively simple. Nonetheless, many network programmers recognize that their applications could be much more robust. Effective TCP/IP Programming is designed to boost programmers to a higher level of competence by focusing on the protocol suite's more subtle features and techniques. It gives you the know-how you need to produce highly effective TCP/IP programs.

In forty-four concise, self-contained lessons, this book offers experience-based tips, practices, and rules of thumb for learning high-performance TCP/IP programming techniques. Moreover, it shows you how to avoid many of TCP/IP's most common trouble spots. Effective TCP/IP Programming offers valuable advice on such topics as:

• Exploring IP addressing, subnets, and CIDR
• Preferring the sockets interface over XTI/TLI
• Using two TCP connections
• Making your applications event-driven
• Using one large write instead of multiple small writes
• Avoiding data copying
• Understanding what TCP reliability really means
• Recognizing the effects of buffer sizes
• Using tcpdump, traceroute, netstat, and ping effectively

Numerous examples demonstrate essential ideas and concepts. Skeleton code and a library of common functions allow you to write applications without having to worry about routine chores.

Through individual tips and explanations, you will acquire an overall understanding of TCP/IP's inner workings and the practical knowledge needed to put it to work. Using Effective TCP/IP Programming, you'll speed through the learning process and quickly achieve the programming capabilities of a seasoned pro.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In 44 expert mini-lessons, Effective TCP/IP Programming demystifies TCP/IP development, eliminating the guesswork, helping programmers past the obstacles, and showing how to dramatically improve application performance and robustness. TCP/IP programming can seem seductively simple: the API is straightforward and even novices can flesh out a working application. But there are plenty of hidden obstacles -- and developers who don't understand them will encounter serious performance problems. Effective TCP/IP Programming demystifies the critical details and hidden behaviors of TCP/IP, so programmers can build code that's more reliable, maintainable, and efficient. Following the widely-admired style of Scott Meyers' Effective C++, Jon C. Snader has organized this book into 44 short, self-contained sections, each addressing one key aspect of TCP/IP development, or one key trouble spot -- and each including detailed, fully commented code examples. The result: a book that's easy to read and absorb, and will serve as an outstanding day-to-day reference tool for every developer who wants to create TCP/IP-based network applications. A perfect complement to other books on TCP/IP, such as TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 by W. Richard Stevens!
