Network programming basics

Neo · Post by **Neo** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 11:00 pm

I was thinking about trying out implementing some netwotk protocols (from the lowest layer) to learn about them in some detail.
I don't really know where to start and was wondering if anyone here has any experience or info on this.
Basically I want to start from programming the NIC itself (if possible). Any pointers on this?

no network programmers?

OF course, but they're busy elsewhere. Me f. ex. working and attending a university of applied science - not that easy to be at jump with usable answers.

Drop a look at the osdever forum. There's some thread where so 's asked about network stuff. There are responses too. Maybe they 're of help?

Stay safe.

Maybe you could use the Clicker kernel as a base to develop a network card driver and network stack!

I have already started the beginings of an NE2000 driver, and I'm sure Pype would be more than happy for you to implement a network stack for Clicker under his excellent guidance

you can find specs for all of the basic network protocols on the net the trouble is reading them, because there designed for boffins to read.

Apparently none who have experience to share on developing a network stack (as opposed to using one)...

To give a more "solid" recommendation, TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 sound very useful, and received top review marks.

^_^

the OSFAQ contains a bit info too, including an online book (worth the bucks

) about designing a network stack.

I also know of iprouting.pdf which goes through the processing of an IP packet by a linux router ...

@Pype: I was going to have a look at the links but the second one give me an "Access Forbidden" error.
