The title of this book is misleading.
This book claims to be about networking customized for embedded systems. However, there is not much here, which is specific for emebedded systems. This is more like a book, about application layer protcols.

This book is just a book that explain how to implement the TCP/IP application layer protocols on the embedded systems.

The definition of embeddes sytems are,
"An embedded system is a specialized computer system that provides a dedicated function such as control, monitoring or other services with in a larger system."
"It's important to note that an embedded system in no way implies a real-time system."
"One other interesting distinction of most embedded suystems is that the software that is developed for them is built(compiled and linked) on another computer."

There are some views about the embeddes systems in chapter 2.
"RTOS or no RTOS"
"Blocking or Non-blocking calls"
"single or multi-thread designs"
"memory management issues"
The last issues is the important, the dynamic allocation or pre-allocation of memory.

If you want to implement some applications using TCP/IP, this will be usefull for you.
