Unit 5: Text Transport Using UCP and TCP   This unit will introduce you to new programming skills – more specifically, programming skills on the transport layer of the TCP/IP stack.  This unit will begin by providing you with a layered view of the Internet, focusing on the UDP and TCP protocols in the TCP/IP stack.  We will then learn how text can be sent over the network and identify the principles of creating UDP datagrams or TCP segments, packaging text, and transferring it from one machine to another across the network.

Unit 5 Time Advisory
This unit should take you approximately 10 hours to complete.

☐    Subunit 5.1: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 5.2: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 5.3: 3 hours

☐    Subunit 5.4: 1 hour

Unit5 Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:

  • Explain the fundamental concepts of programming for the transport layer.
  • Differentiate the coding methods for writing and reading across machines.
  • Compare and contrast methods for input and output streaming.
  • Complete programming tasks utilizing different streaming methods.
