I often use the Stevens book, but it is fairly old and has gotten a bit out of date.

I also use "Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol 1", fourth edition, by Douglas E. Comer. ISBN 0-13-018380-6. I don't like it as much as the Stevens book, but it does address a lot of newer features (like selective ACK).

Stuart,

You can consider reading TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1, by W. Richard Stevens
(ISBN 0-201-63346-9). I think this book is the best if you want to learn
more about tcp/ip.

Marco
