Fundamental Networking in Java

This book provides complete coverage of fundamental IP networking in Java. It introduces the concepts behind TCP/IP and UDP, with their intended use and purpose; covers of Java networking APIs, and includes an extended discussion of advanced server design, leading the reader to understand the extra programming steps and design considerations required in such environments. Special emphasis is given to the scalable I/O facilities of Java 1.4 as well as complete treatments of multi-homing and UDP both unicast and multicast. Readers stand to gain an advanced knowledge of fundamental network design and programming concepts in the Java language, enabling them to design and implement distributed applications with advanced features and to predict their performance. Special emphasis is given to the scalable I/O facilities of Java 1.4 as well as complete treatments of multi-homing and UDP both unicast and multicast.
