Linux Network Architecture: Design and Implementation of Network Protocols in the Linux Kernel

Author: (USA) Wehrle, K. et al., translated by Wang Qingqing, Lu Zuying
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2006-07-01
Features: This book is written to provide students and professionals with the fundamental knowledge required for implementing network functions in the Linux kernel. It is also suitable for anyone who wishes to gain an in-depth understanding of specific network processes within operating systems. The book introduces key network components and mechanisms in the Linux kernel, as well as the design of communication systems. It provides a detailed description of the network subsystem in recent versions of the Linux kernel. It explains how protocols work and establishes multiple important concepts in the Linux network architecture—from device driver concepts to application programming interface concepts. In addition to core topics such as PPP, IP, firewalls, routing, TCP, NAT, UDP, and sockets, the book also discusses new protocols and protocol extensions, such as the PPPoE protocol used in various DSL access technologies, Bluetooth? drivers, and QoS (Quality-of-Service) support.
