Internet Connectivity Tutorial

Tango provides classes for performing with multiple types of socket activities. The basic types of activities include connected socket communications, connectionless socket communications, and multicast socket communications.

Connected communications require one side to open a port and the other side to connect to it. In Tango these two functionalities are in two separate classes. Both of these classes inheret from the Socket class.

The ServerSocket class implements the functionality needed to open a socket to inbound connections.

The SocketConduit class implements the functionality needed to connect to an open socket.

Connectionless socket communications are preformed with the DatagramConduit class.

Multicast socket communications are preformed with the MulticastSocket class.
