To expose with various socket options
To get aware of Network security for Network Programming
UNIT I INTRODUCTION
TCP/IP Layer Model – Multicast, broadcast and Anycast – Socket address Structures – Byte ordering functions – address conversion functions – Elementary TCP Sockets – socket, connect, bind, listen, accept, read, write , close functions – Iterative Server – Concurrent Server
Lab Components
1. Socket Creation
2. Implementation of Client-Server Communication Using TCP
UNIT II UNIT TITLE
TCP Echo Server – TCP Echo Client – Posix Signal handling – Server with multiple clients – boundary conditions: Server process Crashes, Server host Crashes, Server Crashes and reboots, Server Shutdown
Lab Components
1. Implementation of TCP Echo Client Server
2. Design a multiuser TCP client – server chat application
UNIT III SOCKET OPTIONS AND MULTIPLEXING
Socket options – getsocket and setsocket functions – generic socket options – IP socket options – ICMP socket options – TCP socket options I/O multiplexing – I/O Models – select function – shutdown function – TCP echo Server (with multiplexing) – poll function – TCP echo Client (with Multiplexing)
Lab Components
1. TCP echo server with multiplexing to estimate round trip time from client to server.
2. Design a server for multi-player tic tac toe game
UNIT IV ELEMENTARY UDP SOCKETS
UDP echo Server – UDP echo Client – Multiplexing TCP and UDP sockets – Domain name system – gethostbyname function – Ipv6 support in DNS – gethostbyadr function – getservbyname and getservbyport functions
Lab Components
