I mean <i>really</i> understand it? MostWinsockers can get by with a basic understanding of stream protocols,but at least one person in your organization should have a deep knowledgeof TCP/IP. Why not you?</p><p>TCP/IP, though elegant, has some interesting complexities, mainlydue to the various optimizations and reliability enhancements in theprotocol. Did you know that the connection sequence consists of threeprecisely-specified packets? Do you know what happens if one of thosepackets is lost, corrupted, duplicated or received out of order? Doyou understand what it means when the "netstat -a" command reportsthat your server program is in the FIN_WAIT_2 state? Someone on yourteam needs to, or else you'll just stumble around in the darkness,never really grasping TCP/IP<img src="../bitmaps/waist-dot.gif" alt="--" width=14 height=6 hspace=2>worse, your programs will show this,by being poorly-behaved.</p><p>Stevens writes wonderful books, and this one is no exception. Itis clear that he both understands his subject intimately, and takesthe time to write and rewrite his prose until his points are clear andcogent. This book may not be the easiest read you'll tackle this year,but it may be one of the most worthwhile. More importantly, the book's600-page bulk is not fluffed-up. It really does have to be that big,so while it may take you awhile to get through this book, you won'tregret the fairly steep price tag<img src="../bitmaps/waist-dot.gif" alt="--" width=14 height=6 hspace=2>it's worth it, because the bookis <i>dense</i> with information.</p><h4>The Bottom Line</h4><p>Stevens spends a lot of time tinkering with Unix kernels, particularlythe network stacks, and it shows<img src="../bitmaps/waist-dot.gif" alt="--" width=14 height=6 hspace=2>the man knows what he's talkingabout, and not from a purely theoretical standpoint. He's made themistakes, and he's fought the same battles you're fighting now; moreover,he knows how to get across to you what you need to know. If you want tolearn the deep secrets of TCP/IP, this is the way to do it.</p><h4>Companion Books</h4><p>There are two other related books by Stevens you needto consider. First is <a href="unp-v1.html">Unix NetworkProgramming</a>. This is more code, and less theory. If you prefer tolearn by tweaking code, this is the way to go. Or, if you've decidedto go the theoretical way, you may want to make<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/020163354X/winsockprogramme"> TCP/IP Illustrated</a> your nextpurchase. This next volume in the series lists and explains all 15,000lines of C code in the 4.3BSD TCP/IP stack.</p><h4>Related Resources</h4><p>W.
