- ape4 4y agoIf it exists it would be called "Node"
- soneil 4y agoWell that's the hard part sorted, now someone just needs to write it!
- TedShiller 4y agoThe classic one would be: Unix Network Programming by W. Richard Stevens
- fanf2 4y agoAnd TCP/IP Illustrated by the same author.

- matsemann 4y agoThis one is great ("A top down approach"). It takes all levels of the network, packages/bytes, signals etc. Very interesting read.
- FearlessNebula 4y agoI just purchased this and downloaded the accompanying Wireshark labs. Looking forward to diving in although I’ll probably want to read Code first. Maybe I can do them side by side?
- YZF 4y agoI've always wanted to write a book and this would be an interesting idea ;) There's definitely a lot of cool history to cover (donno if Code covers a lot of history, haven't read it) In the mean time I've heard this is good: https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Switch-Book-Switching-Technology/dp/0470287152 https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Switch-Book-Switching-Technol... And then there's your computer network textbooks like: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-Andrew-S-Tanenbaum/dp/0133499456 https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-Andrew-S-Tanenbaum/... I have the second edition sitting on a shelf and couldn't get anyone to buy it on ebay ;)
- sarchertech 4y agoI’m working on one. https://www.networksfromscratch.com/ https://www.networksfromscratch.com/
- FearlessNebula 4y agoThis is really awesome, especially as I’m a visual learner this is really my style. I’m going to read the available chapters before opening up Computer Networking a Top Down Approach. I’d love to follow along for updates so I’ll be putting my email in. I will gladly buy a print copy when that’s available.
- clumsysmurf 4y agoI liked The Illustrated Network: How TCP/IP Works in a Modern Network https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Network-How-Works-Modern/dp/0128110279 https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Network-How-Works-Modern/...
