Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition! The second edition covers the same topics as the first edition and even more as well. This book primarily focuses on the Winsock network programming technology. In particular, we've added a chapter on writing high-performance, scalable Winsock applications and a chapter devoted to Winsock programming in the C# programming language using the exciting new .NET Application Frameworks library. In addition, we've completely updated the chapter on the Windows Service Provider Interface (SPI), and we cover additional protocols (such as IPv6 and reliable multicasting) and reveal functionality that is new to Windows XP.
