NOW WHAT?
Once you code is working, you can start implementing the various aspects
of the TCP/IP or ethernet stacks that are relevant to the program that you
are creating. The best source of information on how a protocol works, is
from the FAQs website. To get an overview
of how TCP/IP works, and all of the different protocol suites, there are
many books availiable. An easy to read and understand book is MCSE TCP/IP
for Dummies. It covers the basics of the protocols that are commonly used
and how they work. However it does not go into the technical details of
the protocols.
I will be adding enhancements to this tutorial and supplied code, including
adding hooks into Erics TCP/IP stack. If you should find any bugs or have
any problems, then email me. I am wanting
to create a Software Development Kit (SDK) whereby the programmer can select
various 'blocks' to create the desired functionality that is required, as
well as add lower PPP levels to this kit. If you write any code that helps
fill this purpose and want to add collectively, then email me with your
details etc. If you want updates sent to you as they are rolled out, then
email me and I will add you to the distribution list.
While this program is freeware, I would appreciate any bugs that are
found to be emailed to me for subsequent updating into the SDK. Also, if
you have used this code in any production projects, can you please include
my name in your documentation for prosperity, and I would also like to know
the types of projects that the code is used for.
