Internetworking With Tcp/Ip: Client-Server Programming and Applications/Bsd Socket Version

by Douglas E.;Stevens Comer, David L. Stevens

This volume addresses the question of how applications that use TCP/IP can be designed. Focusing on the client-server paradigm, this book examines algorithms for both the client and server components of a distributed program, shows an implementation that illustrates each design, discusses techniques like application-level gateways and tunnelling, and reviews several standard protocols. As well as describing concurrent processes and the system functions used to create them, this third volume in Comer's series also explains how each design fits into the space of possible implementations, emphasizes design principles that underlie practical implementations and offers sample programs that show how each design operates in practice.

Lousy. The writing is okay, but the code examples are riddled with horrible bugs. A (large) number of them don't compile, and those that do often show you the wrong way to do things. I spent more time trying to figure out why his code didn't work than it would have taken to read the Linux socket programming man pages -- which is ultimately what I ended up doing, anyway. Buying the book was an expensive mistake.
