IP Networking

Hi!
I wanted to go deeper in how computer networks works. Went through many well known books. Liked Computer Networks by Andrew S Tanenbaum. However he only covered theoretical concepts but what I required was implementation. I also went through TCP/IP illustrated series. They were excellent but quit outdated I suppose(1990-1995, still talking about SLIP etc.,not updated may be due to untimely death of author). However its second part was exactly the type I required(with real-time codes from BSD implementation.).
Could any kind reader suggest me any such modern text with major focus on implementation of TCP/IP. Thanks in advance.

P.S.:
1. Please don't mention RFC. Already know abt them.

skoooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks for replying Sauravbh. Although was unable to understand what you wrote in this edited message, I got your original message from my mail. Yes, after few readings I also found Steven's book interesting. However can you kindly guide me with how to go about reading these volumes. Should I go in order or start with 2nd volume and refer to 1st as need arises. Only constraint with me is time as I have only 15 days of winter vacation left in which I want to cover this subject. After that you know our Indian education system (sem+exam+...infinity).

dheeraj can you pl tell me wat those books are ? and if u hve like ebooks for them please. I would appreciate it. thanks

Well those books are about computer networks and protocols...
tanenbaum -> Computer Networks->General Introduction about Computer Networks and OSI protocols.

Stevens->TCP/IP illustrated 1,2,3->TCP/IP protocol... both theory and original coding/implelmentation of BSD tcp/ip stack (classic but quite old)

Well don't know about ebooks(but may get on torrent or rapidshare, although I don't support such means). However you may find many good introductory sites providing free material on this subject. Wikipedia and Google are best friends here too.
Cheers

Hi,

I've many my colleagues suggesting Comers books for TCP/IP, though I haven't read I still have a strong opinion for the same

Thanks,
