Description

The goal of this class is to study, evaluate and develop alternative client-server architectures using Sockets (API for TCP/IP) interface. The course covers the basic and advanced issues of TCP/IP networking programming such as multiprocesses, I/O multiplexing, multithreaded, multicasting and secure network programming. Application examples such as Internet browsing, instant messaging, proxy filtering and file transfer protocols are discussed. PREREQUISITE(S): TDC 463 and CSC 309 or DS 420.
