GENERAL
Sockets API - based on Unix Berkeley Software Distribution BSD
(release 4.3)
A socket is a communication endpoint — an object through which a
Windows Sockets application sends or receives packets of data across
a network.
Sockets Abstractions supports many network protocols including
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Xerox®
Network System (XNS), Digital Equipment Corporation's DECNet™
protocol, Novell® Corporation's Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced
Packed Exchange (IPX/SPX), and others.
Stream sockets -guaranteed to be delivered and to be correctly
sequenced and unduplicated.
Datagram sockets - Not guaranteed to be delivered and to be correctly
sequenced and unduplicated.

Uses for Sockets
•Client/Server models
•Peer-to-peer scenarios, such as chat
applications
•Making remote procedure calls (RPC) by
having the receiving application interpret a
message as a function call
Client / Server Model

response
-start anytime
- Always running
-connect to server
- Listen for client requests
-requests service
- Respond to request
-disconnect
- handles multiple clients

Main socket functions
Socket()
- create a socket and return a
socket handle
bind()
- bind socket to a local address
listen()
- set up client queue
accept()
- wait for connection requests
connect()
- attempt to establish connection
send()
- send data
recv()
- receive data
close()
- close the connections

Helpful tips
*Client must know Server host ID:
- IP address
- server name and translate to IP address using
gethostbyname()
*Client must know Server Port
- well known ports
- server advertisement
- auxiliary communication
*Both client and server must translate local data
representations to network representations

Conversion Functions(MFC)
Function

Purpose
Convert a 16-bit quantity from network
byte order to host byte order (Big-Endian to
Little-Endian).
Convert a 32-bit quantity from network
byte order to host byte order (Big-Endian to
Little-Endian).
Convert a 16-bit quantity from host byte
order to network byte order (Little-Endian
to Big-Endian).
Convert a 32-bit quantity from host byte
order to network byte order (Little-Endian
to Big-Endian).
Sample Programs
Tcpserv.c

tcpclient.c
Feit p 782
wb_client.cpp
on filemaster
wb_server.cpp
on filemaster
Compiling wb_client.cpp in VC++
1)start VC++ , and create a project
File -> new -> Win32 Console Application -> enter
your directory and project name “wb_client”
2) put the source file “wb_client.cpp” in the directory “wb_client” that
was created by VC++ for your project.
3)Add the file to the project
Project -> Add to Project ->file -> select “wb_client.cpp”
4)look at the file
select FileV… tab , shows a tree of files, click on wb_client ,
5)Compile :Build -> Build wb_client.exe , this should give no errors
This creates an executable file debug/wb_client.exe
6)Run from VC++
Build -> Execute wb_client.exe
Setting Up Socket Communication With MFC
Server
CSocket sockSrvr;
Client
// construct a socket
CSocket sockClient;
// create the SOCKET
sockSrvr.Create(nPort);1,2
sockClient.Create( );2
// start listening
sockSrvr.Listen( );
// construct a new, empty socket
CSocket sockRecv;
// accept connection
sockSrvr.Accept( sockRecv );
// seek a connection
sockClient.Connect(strAddr, nPort);

ShutDown
Accepts a connection on the socket.
Requests event notification for the socket.
Associates a local address with the socket.
Closes the socket.
Establishes a connection to a peer socket.
Creates a socket
Controls the mode of the socket.
Establishes a socket to listen for incoming
connection requests.
Receives data from the socket.
Receives a datagram and stores the source
address.
Sends data to a connected socket.
Sends data to a specific destination.
Disables Send and/or Receive calls on the
socket.
