Thomas's Techical Links

There are some good technical documents out on the web. There are also some great books which are worth reading.

I find these, from time to time, and have included links here for you. I hope these are useful.

TCP/IP

I've found two overview's of TCP/IP.

Introduction to TCP/IP - A short introduction to TCP/IP from PC Lube and Tune.
Introduction to TCP/IP - some text available via gopher (most browsers should handle this).

Some TCP/IP Utilities - these may be helpful.

White Papers from TGV - some helpful white papers here.

A TCP/IP Primer - a simplistic overview. Not bad.

The comp.protocols.tcp-ip faq - this is from the usenet group of the same name. A useful resource.

The best books on TCP/IP are:-

Douglas Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. I: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture, 3/e. You can look up the review on Prentice Hall's web page.
W Richard Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 - The Protocols. A long standing favorite (So good I took it on honeymoon). You can find details on Addison Wesley's web page
Albitz, Paul, Cricket Liu - DNS and BIND in a Nutshell - ISBN 1-56592-010-4. This the seminal work on DNS. While focused on BIND on Unix, it is a must for anyone considering implementing DNS on NT 4.
Robin Burk, Martin Bligh and Thomas Lee - TCP/IP Blueprints - ISBN 0-672-31055-4. This is a great book, but as I wrote part of it, I'm highly biased. For more details see the Sams website.

Strouds Consumate Winsock List - the best list of Winsock goodies on the Internet. The home site is in the US, but there is a UK mirror.

The Winsock Client Listing - some helpful Winsock related links
