INTERNETWORKING WITH TCP/IP VOL.3: CLIENT-SERVER PROGRAMMING AND APPLICATIONS

　　For junior-to-graduate level courses in AdvancedComputer Networking, Client-Server Computing, TCP/IP,Network Protocols, Internetworking, or DistributedSystems. This book describes the fundamental conceptsof client -server computing used to build alldistributed computing systems, teaching students howapplication software uses TCP/IP to communicate over anInternet. The text is organized for easy reading byfirst explaining the client-server paradigm and socketAPI that application programs use for networkcommunication and then discussing how the basic toolscan be used to create servers, emphasizing practicaldesigns and techniques that are important toprogrammers. The author covers the complete set ofserver designs as well as the tools and techniques usedto build clients and servers, including RemoteProcedure (RPC). This latest version in the mostpopular Call TCP/IP Internetworking series everpublished describes Linux facilities that networkprograms use such as threads and the socket API. Allthe code in this version of the text is compliant withthe POSIX standard; it has been compiled and tested onthe Linux operating system.
