The former is mostly found in peer-reviewed journals, like most academic publication. The latter is harder to get access to, but you can often find corporate white papers and so forth to give you some ideas. I can't think of anything more useful to say unless you have a more specific set of questions to investigate. If you're looking for more of an overview, the usual suspects (books by Comer, Stevens, Tanenbaum, etc.) will be a good start. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
