| Summary |
"Ipv6 Network Programming contains everything you need to make your application program support IPv6. This book covers IPv6 with a focus on two of the most timely and relevant topics: security and portability. IPv6 socket APIs (RFC2553) are fully described with real-world examples. They are implemented with security in mind, leading you to write secure programs by recommending against the use of some of the inherently insecure IPv6 standard APIs. The examples in the book are also portable and applicable to any of the UNIX-based operating systems, MacOS X, and Windows XP."--BOOK JACKET |
