Copyright (C) 1988, 2002 On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR) + +Preface +####### + +This document describes the RTEMS specific parts of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack. +Much of this documentation was written by Eric Norum (eric@skatter.usask.ca) of +the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory who also ported the FreeBSD TCP/IP +stack to RTEMS. + +The following is a list of resources which should be useful in trying to +understand Ethernet: + +- *Charles Spurgeon's Ethernet Web Site* + "This site provides extensive information about Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) local + area network (LAN) technology. Including the original 10 Megabit per second + (Mbps) system, the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet system (802.3u), and the Gigabit + Ethernet system (802.3z)." The URL is: + (http://www.ethermanage.com/ethernet/ethernet.html) + +- *TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 : The Protocols* + by W. Richard Stevens (ISBN: 0201633469) + This book provides detailed introduction to TCP/IP and includes diagnostic + programs which are publicly available. + +- *TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 : The Implementation* + by W. Richard Stevens and Gary Wright (ISBN: 020163354X) + This book focuses on implementation issues regarding TCP/IP. The + treat for RTEMS users is that the implementation covered is the BSD + stack with most of the source code described in detail. + +- *UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1 : 2nd Edition* + by W. Richard Stevens (ISBN: 0-13-490012-X) + This book describes how to write basic TCP/IP applications, again with primary + focus on the BSD stack. |
