hello ecos-discuss:

Now I'm interested in the eCos's networking.
And I know that eCos's TCP/IP stack is from
openBSD.Then if I want to learn more about 
the implemention TCP/IP stack,what can I do?

Because the detailed document about networking
is not present in the eCos's "DOC". How can I
get the reference manual of TCP/IP?

If I want to develop some  network application,
such as E_mail,can I have more programming 
instrction?


best regards!

If you really want to go into details, you might have a look at the classic 
books of Stevens

- Unix Network Programming, by W. Richard Stevens
- TCP/IP Illustrated

which are considered as the ultimate reference books by many programmers.

If you want to programm this kind of application, you dont need to go too 
much into this detailed TCP/IP stuff.

Have a look at books as:
Programming Internet Email, by David Wood, O'Reilly

As additional, and free, source you could search the internet RFCs for the 
relevant protocols:
Have a look at these 2 links:
