Internetworking With Tcp/ip Vol 3 Client Server Programming & Applications

This Second Edition of Volume III is from the most popular TCP/IP Internetworking series ever published. Software design is used as the central theme to answer, "How does application software use TCP/IP?" Only limited networking background is needed because the text concentrates on how to use an Internet. The client-server paradigm is presented by using standard protocols to illustrate algorithms, designs, and implementation techniques such as gateway and tunneling. The authors have incorporated the latest standards by rewriting the extensive code in ANSI C and discussing changes in protocols. New sections explain concepts such as slirp, the application gateway program that provides Internet access across a dial-up connection. New material includes an entire chapter on deadlock and livelock. The most complete coverage of server technology shows how to apply advanced server technology to applications. Server designs are applicable to the WWW and other applications Practical client-server design principles and techniques are presented along with the strengths and weakness of each approach. Example programs demonstrate how each design works in practice. Includes the clearest explanation of remote procedure call (RPC) and how it can be used to construct distributed programs. Concentrates on concurrent processing that applies to all concurrent programs-not only network applications. All software, including the new code in ANSI C, is available bt FTP.
