Nothing in the 3DS SDK regarding TCP/UDP connections to a remote server?

Naive approach for a real-time game:

• Centralized server.
• (TCP) Create a game session.
• (TCP) Join game session.
  
• (TCP) Get infos regarding session (players, length, etc...)
• Start game session at time X (relative for each player)
• Loop
• (UDP) Every second, SEND local movement every second to server.
  
• (TCP) Every second, ASK server for infos (other player movements, current game session states, points,...) and use that to update the game on local side.

Optimizations you can go for:

• Keep a single connection open while the game session is playing.
• Make your own small binary code to send/receive data about players movements.
