Internetworking With Tcp/ip, Volume 3: Client-server Programming And Applications-windows Sockets Version

Organized for easy reading. First the client-server paradigm and socket interface that application programs use for network communication are covered. this is followed by a discussion of client and server designs that emphasize practical design principles and techniques that are important to programmers.

This volume answers the question "How does one use TCP/IP?"--focusing on the client-server paradigm, and examining algorithms for both the client and server components of a distributed program. KEY TOPICS: It presents an implementation that illustrates each design and discusses techniques like application-level gateways and tunneling. The book also reviews several standard application protocols and uses them to illustrate the algorithms and implementation techniques.
