Justin, although I am sure you have read Steven's UNIX Network
Programming Volume 1, I recommend checking out the new edition... XTI
sockets and T/TCP are dropped as they SHOULD be. I don't think anyone
is losing sleep over that :) Current and more common technologies are
added and/or updated.
Absolutely; thanks for the additional details.
New edition (3rd edition) covers:
+ IPv6
+ POSIX 1003.1-2001 (Single Unix Specification version 3)
+ SCTP
+ Key management sockets chapter (e.g. usage with IPsec)
+ Book also qualifies that source code testing was conducted using Mac
OS X for one of its test machines :)
I HIGHLY recommend this new edition -- it comes in an electronic
version
(Safari Bookshelf) for those of us that have laptops and like to travel
light -- but of course there is also the cement shoes version ;)
I haven't read the new edition, but it looks good. For my own self, I
prefer actually turning pages, but then new tricks and old dogs
sometimes don't mix :-}.
In any case, the book is replete with examples and explanations of what
can and usually does go wrong while developing programs that utilize a
network.
Regards,
Justin
