"Teaching Cisco internetworking classes around the country, I get to
hear about every new data communications book of note because my
students bring them to class for reference. Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated,
Volume 1 arrived like a bomb going off ... students raved about the
book. I've just read TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2. If Volume 1 was like
a bomb, then Volume 2 is the Big Bang!
-Greg Gentile, Director of Training, Protocol Interface
"After reading Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, I thought it would
be hard to come up with another book as useful, but Volume 2 is just
that. Some of you might ask how this book applies to you if you aren't a
full-time network programmer. Since my earliest days of using UNIX(R),
the standard answer to "How does this really work?" has been "Look at
the source." With this book, you can not only look at the source, but
also have one of the clearest explanations as to how it all fits
together."
-Greg Merrell, Systems Engineer, International Network Services
TCP/IP Illustrated, an ongoing series covering the many facets of
TCP/IP, brings a highly-effective visual approach to learning about this
networking protocol suite. TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 contains a
thorough explanation of how TCP/IP protocols are implemented. There
isn't a more practical or up-to-date book. This volume is the only one
to cover the de facto standard implementation from the 4.4BSD-Lite
release, the foundation for TCP/IP implementations run daily on hundreds
of thousands of systems worldwide.
Combining 500 illustrations with 15,000 lines of real, working code,
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 uses a teach-by-example approach to help
you master TCP/IP implementation. You will learn about such topics as
the relationship between the sockets API and the protocol suite, and the
differences between a host implementation and a router. In addition, the
book covers the newest features of the 4.4BSD-Lite release, including
multicasting, long fat pipe support, window scale, timestamp options,
and protection against wrapped sequence numbers, and many other topics.
Comprehensive in scope, based on a working standard, and thoroughly
illustrated, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone working
with TCP/IP.

Do you have it
I really appriciate the authors of this book Make everything so clear and readable. If I can give 10 stars, I will. After looking inside how it works, you would find the application programming interface(APIs) just a piece of cake. Go get it right now.
