TCP/IP & Linux Protocol Implementation: Systems Code for the Linux Internet

A one-of-a-kind description about using the Linux operating system on a TCP/IP network
Boasting high-performance, high availability, and open source code, Linux has emerged as an optimal choice for an operating system. Yet for Linux to be adopted by the mainstream of Unix-based corporate and ISP networks, it must be capable of supporting the TCP/IP Internet protocol, like any other network operating system. This book provides the rapidly growing audience of Linux site managers, as well as researchers and developers worldwide, with the information they need on how Linux TCP/IP keeps the network running. Internationally recognized expert on Internetworking, Jon Crowcroft walks readers through the Linux TCP/IP protocol stack, offering detailed explanations on how Linux implements its communications protocols. Vinton Cerf--co-inventor of TCP/IP--is the technical editor for this book.

這本書是關於在TCP/IP網路上使用Linux作業系統的獨特描述。Linux以其高性能、高可用性和開源代碼而成為操作系統的最佳選擇。然而，要讓Linux在基於Unix的企業和ISP網路的主流中被採用，它必須能夠像其他網路操作系統一樣支援TCP/IP網際網路協議。本書為快速增長的Linux網站管理員、以及全球的研究人員和開發人員提供了有關Linux TCP/IP如何保持網路運行的資訊。國際公認的網際網路專家Jon Crowcroft帶領讀者深入了解Linux TCP/IP協議堆棧，詳細解釋了Linux如何實現其通信協議。TCP/IP的共同發明人Vinton Cerf是本書的技術編輯。
