Hi all,

I'm looking for guidelines / books on how to implement a network
protocol (in general). I've done basic TCP/IP sockets but I have no
idea how to design my app so I can implement a network protocol. Do
you know any books on general guidelines for implementing networking
protocols? Many thanks.

The classic text on this is "Design and Validation of Computer
Protocols" by Holzmann. I think it is out of print, but used copies
are probably available.
