People often ask for book recommendations on UNIX. A most remarkable book just landed in my mailbox: Douglas Comer, Operating System Design, Volume II, Internetworking with XINU, Prentice-Hall ISBN 0-13-637414-X 025 This is the followup book to his Xinu Operating System book and extends his operating system to Arpa InterNetworking functionality. It steps through hardware and layer by layer software implementation of the protocols including namespace issues, routing, ARP, RARP, ICMP, a stateless file server, telnet, mail...need I go on? The whole thing in one textbook. Wanna be a networking guru? Pick one up, I am impressed as hell. -Barry Shein, Boston University Disclaimer: would I lie to you?
