Effective TCP/IP Programming


Book Description

Programming in TCP/IP can seem deceptively simple. Nonetheless, many network programmers recognize that their applications could be much more robust. Effective TCP/IP Programming is designed to boost programmers to a higher level of competence by focusing on the protocol suite's more subtle features and techniques. It gives you the know-how you need to produce highly effective TCP/IP programs. In forty-four concise, self-contained lessons, this book offers experience-based tips, practices, and rules of thumb for learning high-performance TCP/IP programming techniques. Moreover, it shows you how to avoid many of TCP/IP's most common trouble spots. Effective TCP/IP Programming offers valuable advice on such topics as: Exploring IP addressing, subnets, and CIDR Preferring the sockets interface over XTI/TLI Using two TCP connections Making your applications event-driven Using one large write instead of multiple small writes Avoiding data copying Understanding what TCP reliability really means Recognizing the effects of buffer sizes Using tcpdump, traceroute, netstat, and ping effectively Numerous examples demonstrate essential ideas and concepts. Skeleton code and a library of common functions allow you to write applications without having to worry about routine chores. Through individual tips and explanations, you will acquire an overall understanding of TCP/IP's inner workings and the practical knowledge needed to put it to work. Using Effective TCP/IP Programming, you'll speed through the learning process and quickly achieve the programming capabilities of a seasoned pro.

Distributed Network Systems


Book Description

Both authors have taught the course of “Distributed Systems” for many years in the respective schools. During the teaching, we feel strongly that “Distributed systems” have evolved from traditional “LAN” based distributed systems towards “Internet based” systems. Although there exist many excellent textbooks on this topic, because of the fast development of distributed systems and network programming/protocols, we have difficulty in finding an appropriate textbook for the course of “distributed systems” with orientation to the requirement of the undergraduate level study for today’s distributed technology. Specifically, from - to-date concepts, algorithms, and models to implementations for both distributed system designs and application programming. Thus the philosophy behind this book is to integrate the concepts, algorithm designs and implementations of distributed systems based on network programming. After using several materials of other textbooks and research books, we found that many texts treat the distributed systems with separation of concepts, algorithm design and network programming and it is very difficult for students to map the concepts of distributed systems to the algorithm design, prototyping and implementations. This book intends to enable readers, especially postgraduates and senior undergraduate level, to study up-to-date concepts, algorithms and network programming skills for building modern distributed systems. It enables students not only to master the concepts of distributed network system but also to readily use the material introduced into implementation practices.




DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS COMPUTING OVER NETWORKS


Book Description

Intended as a textbook for undergraduate students of computer science, computer science and engineering, and information technology for a course on distributed systems/operating systems, this up-to-date text provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and technologies pertinent to the design and construction of the distributed systems. Beginning with an introduction to the subject, the book discusses the techniques of software and network architectures and presents the issues pertaining to the handling and accessing of resources. This also focuses on major application areas. Finally, the book provides the examples for explaining the concepts discussed. The book would also be useful to postgraduate students of computer science, computer science and engineering, and information technology as well as to postgraduate students of computer applications. The book can also be used by software engineers, programmers, analysts, scientists and researchers for reference. New to This Edition This second edition highlights some of the latest distributed system technologies. It includes discussions on: • Cloud Computing • Social Networks • Big Data In addition to this, It presents some current key software tools, viz. BitTorrent, Amazon Dynamo, Amazon DynamoDB, Apache Cassandra, Apache Server, Apache Zookeeper, Google BigTable and others. Key Features • Introduces Internet, The World Wide Web, Web services and network technologies, viz. WAN, LAN and MAN. • Discusses software development tools, like PVM, MPI, DCE, CORBA and the Globus toolkit. • Provides discussions on network protocol suites, i.e. TCP/IP, SMTP and HTTP. • Deals with grid computing, wireless computing and client-server model. • Presents applications of NFS, Coda, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Amoeba, Chorus, Mach, Windows NT and Orbix technologies. • Emphasizes the programming languages, like Ada, C++ and Java.

Distributed Systems for System Architects


Book Description

The primary audience for this book are advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Computer architecture, as it happened in other fields such as electronics, evolved from the small to the large, that is, it left the realm of low-level hardware constructs, and gained new dimensions, as distributed systems became the keyword for system implementation. As such, the system architect, today, assembles pieces of hardware that are at least as large as a computer or a network router or a LAN hub, and assigns pieces of software that are self-contained, such as client or server programs, Java applets or pro tocol modules, to those hardware components. The freedom she/he now has, is tremendously challenging. The problems alas, have increased too. What was before mastered and tested carefully before a fully-fledged mainframe or a closely-coupled computer cluster came out on the market, is today left to the responsibility of computer engineers and scientists invested in the role of system architects, who fulfil this role on behalf of software vendors and in tegrators, add-value system developers, R&D institutes, and final users. As system complexity, size and diversity grow, so increases the probability of in consistency, unreliability, non responsiveness and insecurity, not to mention the management overhead. What System Architects Need to Know The insight such an architect must have includes but goes well beyond, the functional properties of distributed systems.
