Cocoa has some limited support for TCP: you can open a client connection and 
send and receive data. For anything beyond that you have to drop down to 
CFNetwork. Doing a TCP server isn’t too hard because CFStream is toll-free 
bridged to NSStream, so you can use CFStream to listen for connections and then 
use NSStream for the I/O. Apple has some sample apps that demonstrate this.

There’s no Cocoa support for UDP; the highest level system API for it is 
CFSocket, or of course you could just use the POSIX system calls. It’s possible 
there are 3rd party Obj-C APIs for UDP networking, but I don’t know of any 
offhand.

In-depth discussion of networking is best done on the macnetworkprog list on 
this server, btw. The Apple gurus like Quinn hang out there and are very 
helpful.
