In order to cover for my (glaring) lack of knowledge in the basics of networking, I'm looking for a book which would ideally cover:
- 1 or 2 chapters on the transport layer: tcp, udp...
- 1 or 2 chapters on the application layer: http, dns...
- rest of the book would be devoted to pratical way of sending data across the wire using Java-related technologies. This would involve discussions about existing products (eg. hessian, protobuf, thrift, tibco...) , performances comparisons, case studies...etc..
Does such a book exist ?
