Implementation of Client-Server communication using Socket
Programming and TCP as transport layer protocol
Aim: Client sends a string to the server using tcp protocol. The server
reads the data and returns it to the client, which then displays the data.
Algorithm
Client
1. Create socket
2. Connect the socket to the server
3. Read the read from the standard input and send it
to the server using socket
4. Read data from the socket and display it on the
standard output
[Link] the socket
Server
1. Create listening socket
2. bind IP address and port number to the socket
3. listen for incoming requests on the listening socket
4. accept the incoming request
5. connection socket is created when accept returns
6. Read the string using the connection socket from the client
7. Display the data
8. close the connection socket
9. close the listening socket
