Surprised TCP/IP Illustrated (Volume 1) has only been mentioned 6 times. It's been so helpful for me, so many times. Perhaps it's because most people haven't had writing a TCP stack as part of their day job, but it's such a fundamental technology I would have thought learning about it in depth would be suggested far more frequently.
Also, a proper first edition copy is really high quality with lovely thick paper. My copy of Volume 2 on the other hand is not of the same quality, both in content and physical properties.

- bashkiddie 9mo agoI once had to write an IPv6 stack intending to cache poison internet targets (alias resolution). I just referred to the RFC. A well behaved reference implementation would not be of help.
