Features: With the explosive growth of the Internet, the development of wireless communication and network technologies, the number of programmers and engineers writing network applications has also increased accordingly. TCP/IP programming seems very simple. The Application Programming Interface (API) is quite easy to understand, and even beginners can write applications by using client or server program templates. However, after experiencing an initial period of high efficiency, beginners often get stuck when facing details and find that their applications are being tested for performance or robustness. Network programming is a field filled with dark corners, and some details may be misunderstood. This book analyzes the fine points of TCP/IP programming to shed light on those corners and help you correct mistakes. After reading this book, you will gain a thorough understanding of many difficulties in network programming. This book covers all the details of network programming. By understanding these small details, readers will acquire the corresponding knowledge, i.e., how the internal workings of network protocols interact with applications. With this knowledge, previously confusing program behaviors will become easy to understand, and solutions to problems will become clear.
