Networking Communications Overview

The following pages explain how to communicate across the Ethernet network using GPL. They provide a summary of the classes involved and examples of how to use them. For additional details on specific methods and properties, see the GPL Dictionary.

GPL includes a number of built-in classes to allow network communications between GPL and other systems using TCP or UDP. They are similar to classes found in Visual Basic, and use concepts from Unix and Linux network stacks. These pages are not intended to be a complete tutorial on network communications, but should provide sufficient information for simple applications.
