Catalog description
Applied real-time networking fundamentals. Topics include low-level TCP/UDP socket programming, serialization of data for network transportation, deterministic data flow and queuing in applications, dynamic configuration and session communications. Students will explore issues related to performance-based networking in different topologies: client/server and peer to peer. Students will create and build real-time applications using different protocols (TCP, UDP, RUDP) with active network simulation of loss, delayed, corrupted and out of order data packets. GAM 372 or ( SE 350 and CSC 361 ) are prerequisites for this class.
