From the Back Cover

This specially priced boxed set contains Volumes 1-3 of the acclaimed TCP/IP Illustrated books by W. Richard Stevens and Gary R.Wright, plus an exclusive data structures poster!

The TCP/IP Illustrated books are praised for their highly effective visual approach to the essential TCP/IP topics facing today¿s networking professionals. The word 'illustrated' distinguishes this book from the rest. By forcing conditions to occur, and then displaying the results, TCP/IP Illustrated gives readers a much greater understanding of the concepts than words alone can provide. The books are noted for their diagrams and clear and readable writing style.

Available together in a gift set for the very first time, these books include unparalleled TCP/IP material needed by any networking professional. Titles include: TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols; TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2: The Implementation; TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 3: TCP for Transactions, HTTP, NNTP, and the UNIX® Domain Protocols; and the 4.4BSD TCP/IP Networking Data Structures Poster. The suggested list price is over $20 off the cost of buying the books individually. The handsome slipcase makes this set an ideal gift for the recent computer science graduate or a special treat for the network programmer!

The 4.4BSD TCP/IP Networking Data Structures Poster is based on Volumes 1 and 2. It measures 24" x 36"and is shipped folded in the box.

Customer Reviews

Classic for TCP/IP programming
This is a very extensive book on TCP/IP protocol implementation on BSD/Linux systems. For any one who is interested in involving in networking protocol software development, this book is a must read and also a reference. It deals with kernel implementation of protocols and user based socket APIs/ioctls in detail. I strongly recommend this book for any beginner or experience professional a like.

Proven classic book
I knew that this book is good, but it is more than good. You can find here any IP - related information, explained from simple to complex in all aspects. The information I was trying to find from different sources (Wikipedia etc), is just concentrated in the book.

Not so good, it is not steven's original.
It is not so good than real steven's volume I. It has not been written by steven. But has a good review for TCP/IP stack.
