+This course is an introduction to distributed communications in simulation applications.
+Topics include introduction to the TCP/IP protocol stack,
+socket communications including TCP/UDP unicast/multicastm and essential protocol design issues.
+Follow-on emphasis is Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Protocol application programming,
+with side looks at High Level Architecture (HLA). Course activity focuses on creation and testing
+of network programming network code and web-browser applications.
