Book Description

This book describes describes the fundamental concepts of client-server computing used to build all distributed computing systems, and presents an in-depth guide to the Posix sockets standard utilized by UNIX and other operating systems. It compares leading server designs, and describes the key tools and techniques used to build clients and servers, including Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

The importance of platform independent networks. Understanding the Internet: what it is, addresses, names and routers, levels of protocols (IP, UDP and TCP). How TCP works: port numbers, active and passive opening, establishing connections.

The UNIX socket system calls (socket, bind, listen, connect etc.). Writing a client. Using select to manage multiple I/O streams. Alternative call-back based solutions. Writing a server. Use of fork to service client connections. Mixing bespoke client-server applications with shared databases or shared files.

• Beej's Guide to Unix Network Programming (Brian Hall)

  The Guide is designed to irreverently ease your first steps into Internet Sockets programming in C. Starting from the ground up, it provides complete examples of simple clients and servers supporting both IPv6 and IPv4.

• TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 1: The Protocols (W. Richard Stevens)

  This an excellent text that provides encyclopedic coverage of the TCP/IP protocol suite. What sets this book apart from others on this subject is the fact that the author supplements all of the discussion with data collected via diagnostic programs.

• Linux Networking (Paul Cobbaut)

  This book covers everything you need to know to perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to the job or have years of experience. You'll dive straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining a computer network.

• O'Reilly® Linux Network Administrator's Guide, 2nd Edition

  This book spells out all the information needed for joining a network, whether it's a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with a Linux system serving as a firewall, an NFS or NIS file server, and a mail and news hub.

• The Linux Networking Architecture: Design and Implementation

  This unique Linux networking tutorial/reference by experts provides readers with a practical overview and understanding of the implementation of networking protocols in the Linux kernel.

• Linux IP Networking (Glenn Herrin)

  This book is a guide to understanding how the Linux kernel implements networking protocols, focused primarily on the Internet Protocol (IP). It is intended as a complete reference for experimenters with overviews, walk-throughs, and examples.

• Linux Packet Filtering and iptables (Oskar Andreasson)

  This document describes how to use iptables to filter out bad packets for the Linux kernels. It is assumed you know what an IP address, a network address, a netmask, routing and DNS are.

• Programming UNIX Sockets in C - Frequently Asked Questions

  This is a list of frequently asked questions, with answers about programming TCP/IP applications in UNIC with the sockets interface - you'll have experience of working with client-server applications, and be able to implement new network programs in C.
