Packets are usually sent based on IP with TCP and UDP built on top. It isn’t a java framework, it is the way networks work. I would research Kyronet because you can choose how to send packets of data. The tutorials given to you are universal, not just for C and C#. It works the same regardless of language.

Don’t worry about your English, there’s plenty of non-native speakers here :slight_smile:

Packets are bits of data sent through a network using UDP or TCP. In java you can send many primitives through the built in Java sockets, ad I suggest you learn the built in Java methods first though because it’s nice to know them. Then check out Kryonet as ctomni suggested.

Those links quew8 gave you are a great resource too.

Edit:
There’s a great thread that’s pretty much stickied on this board labeled UDP vs. TCP/IP, you should check that out too.
