Overview
An elaborate description of network implementation and working of transport layer protocols. Like all of Richard Steven's books, this one too has a large number of code examples to explain the usage of
the data structures and the API used for writing networking applications. The book offers a great index for backreferencing.
Covers all important layer 3 and 4 protocols and the various services offered by them. The code examples provide an excellent first step for starting network programmers and a useful reference for the experienced.

stupid windows whore [WAS: Useless for Windows...]
....

Please, I beg of you: learn how software actually should be expressed. This book will help you do so; 15k lines-of-code is all it takes for a TCP/IP implementation.

This books is part of the programming cannon. Buy it, read it, learn from it, shelve it, and refer to it.

Or waste your time on Windows. Up to you.

Useless for Windows...
This books contains just about everything you will need to FULLY understand the implentation of tcp/ip on a unix based computer. But if you are like the 95% of people in the computer world, you are running windows, and this book contains nothing regarding its implementation on a windows system.
