If youve ever wondered how Linux carries out the complicated tasks assigned toit by the IP protocols or if you just want to learn about modern networkingthrough reallife examples Understanding Linux Network Internals is for you.Like the popular OReilly book Understanding the Linux Kernel this bookclearly explains the underlying concepts and teaches you how to follow theactual C code that implements it. Although some background in the TCPIPprotocols is helpful you can learn a great deal from this text about theprotocols themselves and their uses. And if you already have a base knowledgeof C you can use the books code walkthroughs to figure out exactly what thissophisticated part of the Linux kernel is doing. Part of the difficulty inunderstanding networks and implementing them is that the tasks are brokenup and performed at many different times by different pieces of code. One ofthe strengths of this book is to integrate the pieces and reveal therelationships between farflung functions and data structures. UnderstandingLinux Network Internals is both a bigpicture discussion and a nononsenseguide to the details of Linux networking. Topics include Key problems withnetworking Network interface card NIC device drivers Systeminitialization Layer 2 linklayer tasks and implementation Layer 3 IPv4tasks and implementation Neighbor infrastructure and protocols ARP Bridging Routing ICMP Author Christian Benvenuti an operating systemdesigner specializing in networking explains much more than how Linux codeworks. He shows the purposes of major networking features and the tradeoffsinvolved in choosing one solution over another. A large number of flowchartsand other diagrams enhance the books understandability. «
