Who should attend: UNIX/C programmers who want to learn how to write programs that communicate across a network. You should have a basic familiarity with networking concepts and the TCP/IP protocols.

The goal of this tutorial is to provide you with the knowledge needed to write network programs, and to develop and examine actual examples. Although it covers the Berkeley sockets interface, the tutorial focuses on UNIX network programming concepts using TCP/IP that are applicable to both sockets and TLI.

Topics will include:

	Introduction    The big picture    Standards    UNIX process handling    Connections and associations    Concurrent vs. iterative servers
	Berkeley sockets    All the socket functions    TCP and UDP client-server examples    Reserved ports    Stream pipes    Multiplexed I/O    Out-of-band data    Raw sockets    Broadcasting    The inetd superserver    Constructing Internet addresses    Socket changes with 4.4BSD
