mosely specified protocol software interface TCP/IP protocol software is part of the computer' s system software TCP/IP was designed to operate in a multi-vendor environment TCP/IP does not define details of aPf The interface between TCP/IP and applications that use it has been loosely specified TCP/IP standards do not specify the details of how application software interfaces with TCP/IP protocol software hey only suggest the required functionality, and allow system designers to choose the details when creating an API 哈工大计算机学院李全龙 Network Application Development Socket Programming 4
哈工大计算机学院 李全龙 Network Application Development Socket Programming 4 Loosely specified protocol software interface TCP/IP protocol software is part of the computer’s system software. TCP/IP was designed to operate in a multi-vendor environment. TCP/IP does not define details of API The interface between TCP/IP and applications that use it has been loosely specified. TCP/IP standards do not specify the details of how application software interfaces with TCP/IP protocol software They only suggest the required functionality, and allow system designers to choose the details when creating an API
Advantages and disadvantages of Loose specification Advantages: Flexibility and tolerance Different os select own implementation Disadvantages: Designers can make the interface details different for each OS Less portable across machines In practice, only a few aPIs have been developed for use with TCP /IP Berkeley UNIX: socket interface, or sockets nAT&T, System V UNIX:工 Windows: windows sockets interface, WINSOCK 哈工大计算机学院李全龙 Network Application Development Socket Programming 5

Conceptual interface specification The TCP/IP standards do not leave implementors without any guidance They specify a conceptual interface: a set of procedures and functions The conceptual interface defined by tcp/Ip standards does not specify data representations or programming details It merely provides an example of one possible interface that an OS can offer to application programs that use TCP/IP 哈工大计算机学院李全龙 Network Application Development Socket Programming 7

Implementation of an API All implementations of a particular API appear the same to programmers: the API merely consists of a set of procedures( or functions)that an application program can call to establish communication or send and receive data In practice, the implementation of the api depends on the under lying system Sharing API code might reside in the computer's OS or it might reside in a region of memory devoted to shared libraries Win95/ 98 uses a shared lib scheme known as Dynamic Linked Library (DLL) 哈工大计算机学院李全龙 Network Application Development Socket Programming 8
