You might consider gaining some insight by doing practical programming exercises - for instance a very small client - server application using sockets, just obtaining a hello message from the server. If you look left and right while doing that and read the man-pages, it would provide you with

Thanks chaps, for all your contributions ! That did help a lot, I have now I think, figured out the best way to proceed in view of this interview... and far beyond. The one interesting point that stood out I find, is that there really isn't one single, best/approved way to learn embedded TCP/IP.

Hi, I don't know anything about what software is available for microcontrollers, but one time I started writing a network stack (for intel 8088). As you might guess from the name, TCP/IP uses layers of protocols. You can about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite TCP

Ethereal (aka Wireshark) is also a good tool for visualizing the layered structure of packets and investigating the protocols (not to mention debugging your code!) http://www.wireshark.org/ dstn. ___ AVR-chat mailing list AVR-chat@nongnu.org
