Features: This book also employs numerous examples and implementation details, referencing and citing a large number of source programs from Volume 2. It is suitable for those who wish to understand how TCP/IP works, including programmers writing network applications and system administrators using TCP/IP to maintain computer networks. The book is characterized by its rich content, clear and accurate concepts, detailed explanations, and abundant examples. All the examples cited by the author in the book have been practically verified on the author's installed computer network. At the end of the book, the author provides many classic references and writes comments on each one. This book is a continuation of the "TCP/IP Explained Series." The main contents include: TCP Transaction Protocol (T/TCP), which is an extension of TCP that makes client-server transactions faster, more efficient, and more reliable; TCP/IP Applications, primarily HTTP and NNTP; UNIX Domain Protocols, which provide a means of communication between processes. When the client and server processes are on the same host, UNIX Domain Protocols are typically twice as fast as TCP/IP. This book also employs numerous examples and implementation details, referencing and citing a large number of source programs from Volume 2.
