Explains to programmers of application software how such software use the standard protocols to communicate over the Internet. This WINSOCK Version is for those who are building software for personal computers using Windows 95 or Windows NT, which support the Win32 programming interface and can use the Windows Sockets API discussed in the text. First discusses the client-server paradigm and socket interface that application programs use for network communication, then describes designs that emphasize practical principles and techniques.
