Product Description:
If you've ever wondered how Linux carries out the complicated tasks assigned to it by the IP protocols -- or if you just want to learn about modern networking through real-life examples -- "Understanding Linux Network Internals" is for you.

Like the popular O'Reilly book, "Understanding the Linux Kernel," this book clearly explains the underlying concepts and teaches you how to follow the actual C code that implements it. Although some background in the TCP/IP protocols is helpful, you can learn a great deal from this text about the protocols themselves and their uses. And if you already have a base knowledge of C, you can use the book's code walkthroughs to figure out exactly what this sophisticated part of the Linux kernel is doing.

Part of the difficulty in understanding networks -- and implementing them -- is that the tasks are broken up and performed at many different times by different pieces of code. One of the strengths of this book is to integrate the pieces and reveal the relationships between far-flung functions and data structures. "Understanding Linux Network Internals" is both a big-picture discussion and a no-nonsense guide to the details of Linux networking. Topics include:

Key problems with networking

Network interface card (NIC) device drivers

System initialization

Layer 2 (link-layer) tasks and implementation

Layer 3 (IPv4) tasks and implementation

Neighbor infrastructure and protocols (ARP)

Bridging

Routing

ICMP

Author Christian Benvenuti, an operating system designer specializing in networking, explains much more than how Linux code works. He shows the purposes of major networking features and the trade-offs involved inchoosing one solution over another. A large number of flowcharts and other diagrams enhance the book's understandability.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Broad coverage
This is a wonderful book to understanding how the linux networking code works. Good coverage of networking code for a beginner-developer to grasp.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Network Internals Review
In "The Audience for This Book" section it says that "..newcomers will be able to get up to speed quickly, too". That is patently untrue. This is probably a good book for someone completely knowledgeable on the workings of the kernel and who has a solid programming background. I may, after considerable further study, find this book useful. For the time being this book is a functional door stop.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best Linux networking software book to start with
I have read a number of books on the TCP/IP protocols and their implementations; both the original Berkeley (BSD) Unix TCP/IP stack and the Linux TCP/IP stack. I must say that this is the best of all of them. This book makes the subject very approachable for the newcomer to network protocol software but the explanations are detailed enough to satisfy an old dog like me. Benvenuti's writing style is clear and very readable. He liberally provides diagrams to illustrate the concepts he is discussing. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - TAKE THE LINUX NETWORK TOUR!
Are you a newcomer who already has some knowledge of networking? If you are, then this book is for you! Author Christian Benvenuti, has done an outstanding job of writing practical guide that represents a good starting point for anyone willing to learn more about the Linux kernal internals.

Benvenuti, begins by introducing you to the basic knowledge you need to understand the rest of the book comfortably. Then, the author will show you how and when network devices are initialized and registered ... Read More
