Linux Socket Programming with CDROM - Tapa blanda

This book teaches readers how to program Linux sockets, and gives them everything they need to know to make programs communicate effetively over networks.

It presents a comprehensive discussion of all relevant topics including: writing programs compatible with both Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6, raw sockets, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), broadcasting /multicasting, server internals, and more, plus a section covering Posix threads.

It provides thorough coverage of programming with the TCP, UDP, and IP protocols, as well as lower-level raw sockets. The myriad of function calls, data structures, and options associated with the APIs are explained with well-chosen diagrams and tables.

• After reading this book, the reader will be able to:
• Differentiate basic datagrams vs. streaming sockets.
• Differentiate unicast, broadcast, and multicast sockets.
• Write socket-based network programs.
• Write portable code for various OS'.
• Implement client-server and peer communications
• Increase network throughput using "connectionless" communications
• Manage asynchronous I/O, I/O and multiple sockets.
• Use signals, threading and processes to manage socket connections.
• Understand new socket technologies like Mbone and 6bone.
• Understand Remote Procedure Calls and how to implement them.
• Understand the different socket addressing types.
