TCP/IP Lean

This is a hands-on guide to TCP/IP networking that includes source codes to a simple TCP/IP stack - a lean version that is easier to present and efficient enough to use in embedded applications. Learn about, and experiment with, the simpler aspects of Internetworking, before tackling the TCP protocol itself. The book covers: key networking and multimedia technologies; codes for fully-debugged protocol software; extending professionally-written software; utilities for simulating and testing networks; and tools and utilities for future network development. This book aims to meet the challenge of implementing dynamic Web pages on small-scale embedded systems, providing full C source codes for the PC hardware platform, and a PIC microcontroller. Software provided on the accompanying CD-ROM is compatible with several popular C compilers to simplify desktop development.
