what's something in programmimg that has lots of networking

I'm interested in programming but I'm more interested in networking stacks and protocols and how they work, haven't dug in, but the interest is there.
heard of RPC but i dont know what could be a use for it.
my question is, what is a branch of programming that incorporates networking, or heavily emphasises networking. it'd be something i want to learn.

Check out WebRTC. https://webrtc.github.io/samples/ Really cool stuff for real-time video and audio, built into web browsers. You can done some amazing things with it.

Telecom software. May it be on a low level as routers and switches and custom communication protocols (me and my friend, we wrote TCP over UDP during one of our courses) or may it be in a high level as working with existing telecom devices like satellites, cell towers, etc.
Take an ISO/OSI model and see where and in which level it is used.

High level networking is basically the web (http) and everything around it.
Lower level networking is at transport level (tcp, udp). Streaming services, file sharing and games use this, for example.
Low level networking is how machines send and receive the packets at electric level. Hardware and hardware interfaces (drivers) work on this level.
Networking from ISO level 4 (ip) and above can be directly used inside programs. If you want to start, that’s here.
RPC is a manner of distributing workloads over network to other devices. Eg for a gacha game, the actual loot drawing logic is implemented on a server which does the computations and database updates and invoked by the client, which only sends user data and receives the final result to display.

Well, there's the obvious. Network drivers and network software.
Then, any sofrare that allows you to communicate with another computer.
If you want, PM me. I'm a software developer and a network engineer.
