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
