SOCKET PROGRAMMING
IN COMPUTER NETWORKING:
What is Socket Programming?

• Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to


communicate with each other.
• It allows processes to communicate with each other, whether they’re on the
same machine or different machines on the network, by using sockets, which
are endpoints for communication.

How does Socket
programming work?

3
Socket():
Sockets are endpoints for communication between two machines over a network.

Bind():
The “bind()” function associates a socket with a specific network address(IP
address and port number).

Listen():
The “Listen()” function is used on the server side to set the socket in a passive
mode, indicating that it is ready to accept incoming connections.

4
Accept():
The “accept()” function is used to the server side to accept an incoming
connection request from the client.

Read/Write():
The “read()” and “write()” functions are used for reading from and writing data to sockets,
respectively.

Examples of Socket programming:

1. Web Servers and Clients:


2. Multiplayer Online Games:
3. Video and Voice Conferencing:
4. Instant Messaging and Chat Applications:
