Abstract

At many universities and institutions throughout the world it is now very common to have a network of computers, each running the Berkeley 4.3BSD version of UNIX or an equivalent version such as ULTRIX. This paper is to help students using these versions of UNIX to explore and experiment with the interprocess communications and networking facilities. We present examples of client/server programs that can be used as a model for writing distributed applications. We describe how students can test and experiment with these programs. Students are assumed to be familiar with the C programming language and some version of UNIX.
