Reviews for Understanding Linux Network Internals

1. superb

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, May 12th, 2007

   This book is superb (especially those many nice diagrams and well-written clear descriptions). The author has done a great job. The book will surely help many including me understand networking codes in Linux. Though it covers rather narrow range of protocols (IP routing and ARP) in TCP/IP stacks, the acquired knowledge from the book with much less efforts will be very useful in reading source codes of other protocols in the stack. I appreciate the author's time and patience in writing the book. I will anticipate his second volume.

2. A job half done

   A promising start, but fails to deal with TCP (the author cites 'lack of space'); as a result, this is only half the book the title claims, and bettered by other texts.
