The Implementation (TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2)

Rating:
Summary: Impressive
Review: If you want to know the internal mechanisms used to build an IP stack, and how the mechanisms are implemented, this is the book to refer to. The level of detail is very impressive. Although Vol.1 can be read as a text book, Vol.2 is really a reference book with a large quantity of code. It is very easy to read and well indexed (very important for a book of this nature). Simply put, it's one of the best TCP/IP implementation books I've encountered yet.

Rating:
Summary: The best hard-core TCP/IP book out there. Period.
Review: This book requires a strong knowledge of TCP/IP in order to get the most from it. Once you have that, I recommend that you read this book in order to get a firm understanding of how TCP/IP actually WORKS. Be advised, though...this text is a borderline reference book. Stevens (as you probably know) has a dry writing style, so be sure to fill up on your favorite caffinated drink before digging in ;)

Summary: Useless for Windows...
Review: This books contains just about everything you will need to FULLY understand the implentation of tcp/ip on a unix based computer. But if you are like the 95% of people in the computer world, you are running windows, and this book contains nothing regarding its implementation on a windows system.
