DESCRIPTION:
This book will also not overload you with cumbersome line-by-line code walkthroughs not directly related to what you're searching for; you'll find just what you need, with in-depth explanations in each chapter and a quick reference at the end of each chapter.Linux Kernel Networking is the only up-to-date reference guide to understanding how networking is implemented, and it will be indispensable in years to come since so many devices now use Linux or operating systems based on Linux, like Android, and since Linux is so prevalent in the data center arena, including Linux-based virtualization technologies like Xen and KVM.. Linux Kernel Networking takes you on a guided in-depth tour of the current Linux networking implementation and the theory behind it. Linux kernel networking is a complex topic, so the book won't burden you with topics not directly related to networking
"Appreciate the effort, but still disappointed." according to Henry Choi. One of my boss's mantra is: "never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence", but sometimes I can't help but wonder: do these star Linux developers really NOT know how to explain things to those less smart than them, or do they just really hate explaining things? I expected more lucid exposition from a book that attempts (according to Mr. Rosen) to address the 10 year gap in explanation for the Linux kerne. Linux Kernel Networking: Implementation and Theory review Javier This book is a great resource oriented to Linux networking developers. The book is up-to-date content focused on Linux networking stack. It describes the traversal of the packets in the kernel networking stack and their interactions with various networking layers and subsystems. It describes the implementation of various networking protocols too.The book contains 14 chapters and 3 appendices. The initial two chapters, ‘I. Ashish Kalra said Covers topics like Infiniband, Linux namespaces, Bluetooth, NFC stacks in Linux & Android not covered elsewhere. Really liked chapters like Infiniband/RDMA stack in Linux which is not covered elsewhere, also the Advanced Topicschapter (in the style of Essential Linux Device Drivers book) covers multiple subsystems like lightweight networkvirtualization (Linux namespaces), Bluetooth stack, Linux & Android NFC stack.
