CSC 486: Real-Time Networking (Formerly GAM 490)

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. Architecture of different bandwidth compression and estimation techniques will be investigated. Research of wireless ad hoc networks such as Bluetooth and ZigBee will be explored.
