CSE 533: Network Programming

Stony Brook University – Fall 2017

This course is focused on low-level networking protocols, including:

C / Unix TCP & UDP socket programming
routing & raw sockets
RPC
and shared memory.

Assignments and programming projects will focus the course on network programming in the context of network protocol development and implementation (e.g., TCP, ICMP, routing, multicasting, ARP, etc.), and distributed services and ‘system-level’ applications (e.g., client-server and peer-to-peer applications, distributed file systems, name services, etc.).

CSE 533 is a demanding programming course! You will need to dedicate many hours outside of class time studying the material, working on the homework assignments and preparing for exams.

Prerequisites:

CSE 230 (Intermediate Programming in C & C++), CSE306 (Operating Systems), and CSE310 (Computer Networks) , or equivalents.
