The document outlines a client-server program using TCP/IP sockets where the client sends a file name and the server responds with the file's contents if available. It explains socket characteristics, including connection types, reliability, and common protocols like TCP and UDP. Additionally, it describes socket APIs for creating and managing connections between clients and servers.

1) Using TCP/IP sockets, Write a client-server program to make the


client send the file name and to make the server send back the
contents of the requested file if present.

Sockets are a protocol independent method of crea ng a connec on between process sockets can
be either
 Connec on based or connec onless: Is a connec on stabilized before communica on orders
each packet describe the des na on?
 Packet based or stream based: Are there message boundaries or is it one stream?
 Reliable or unreliable: Can message be lost, Duplicated, reorder, or corrupted?
Sockets characteris c
Socket are characterized by their domain, Type and transport protocol. Common domains are:

 AF_INET: IPv4 Internet protocols


 AF_INET6: IPv6 Internet protocols
 AF_UNIX: Local communication (on same system)

Common socket types are:

 SOCK_STREAM: Provides a reliable, connection-oriented byte stream. Example: TCP.


 SOCK_DGRAM: Provides connectionless, unreliable messages of a fixed maximum length.
Example: UDP.

Common protocols are:

 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Reliable, connection-based protocol using


SOCK_STREAM.
 UDP (User Datagram Protocol): Unreliable, connectionless protocol using
SOCK_DGRAM.

Use of sockets:

 Connection–based sockets communicate client-server: the server waits for a connection from
the client
Connectionless sockets are peer-to-peer: each process is symmetric.

Socket APIs

➤ socket: creates a socket of a given domain, type, protocol (buy a phone)


➤ bind: assigns a name to the socket (get a telephone number)
➤ listen: specifies the number of pending connections that can be queued for a server socket.
(call waiting allowance)
➤ accept: server accepts a connection request from a client (answer phone)
➤ connect: client requests a connection request to a server (call)
