Acknowledgments
We thank the technical reviewers who read the manuscript and provided important feedback on a tight
timetable: Ragnvald Blindheim, Jon Crowcroft, Sally Floyd, Glen Glater, John Gulbenkian, Don
Hering, Mukesh Kacker, Berry Kercheval, Brian W. Kernighan, Ulf Kieber, Mark Laubach, Steven
McCanne, Craig Partridge, Vern Paxson, Steve Rago, Chakravardhi Ravi, Peter Salus, Doug Schmidt,
Keith Sklower, Ian Lance Taylor, and G. N. Ananda Vardhana. A special thanks to the consulting
editor, Brian Kernighan, for his rapid, thorough, and helpful reviews throughout the course of the
project, and for his continued encouragement and support.
Our thanks (again) to the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO), especially Sidney
Wolff, Richard Wolff, and Steve Grandi, for providing access to their networks and hosts. Our thanks
also to the U.C. Berkeley CSRG: Keith Bostic and Kirk McKusick provided access to the latest
4.4BSD system, and Keith Sklower provided the modifications to the 4.4BSD-Lite software to run
under BSD/386 V1.1.
G.R.W. wishes to thank John Wait, for several years of gentle prodding; Dave Schaller, for his
encouragement; and Jim Hogue, for his support during the writing and production of this book.
W.R.S. thanks his family, once again, for enduring another "small" book project. Thank you Sally,
Bill, Ellen, and David.
The hardwork, professionalism, and support of the team at Addison-Wesley has made the authors' job
that much easier. In particular, we wish to thank John Wait for his guidance and Kim Dawley for her
creative ideas.
Camera-ready copy of the book was produced by the authors. It is only fitting that a book describing
an industrial-strength software system be produced with an industrial-strength text processing system.
Therefore one of the authors chose to use the Groff package written by James Clark, and the other
author agreed begrudgingly.
We welcome electronic mail from any readers with comments, suggestions, or bug fixes: tcpipiv2-
book@aw.com. Each author will gladly blame the other for any remaining errors.
