Tutorial on Network Programming with Python (2007)

The TCP/IP network protocol suite is the standard method for intermachine communication. Though originally integral only to the UNIX operating system, its usage spread to all OS types, and it is the basis of the entire Internet. This document will briefly introduce the subject of TCP/IP programming using the Python language. A network means a Local Area Network. Here machines are all on a single cable, or as is more common now, what amounts to a single cable (e.g. multiple wires running through a switch). The machines on the network communicate with each other by the MAC addresses, which are 48-bit serial numbers burned into their network interface cards (NICs). If machine A wishes to send something to machine B on the same network, A will put B’s MAC address into the message packet. B will see the packet, recognize its own MAC address as destination, and accept the packet. [via]
