This repo contains the codes for Socket programming in JAVA. Sockets allow communication between two different processes on the same or different machines and Socket programming is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other.
There are 4 sections in this repo.
- TCP Protocol implementation
- UDP Protocol implementation
- File Transfer Protocol imple.
- A client and server ChatApplication
1) TCP Protocol implementation
TCP provides a connection oriented service, since it is based on connections between clients and servers. TCP provides reliability. When a TCP client send data to the server, it requires an acknowledgement in return.
2) UDP Protocol implementation
UDP is a simple transport-layer protocol. The application writes a message to a UDP socket, which is then encapsulated in a UDP datagram, which is further encapsulated in an IP datagram, which is sent to the destination.
3) File Transfer Protocol imple.
FTP is a standard internet protocol provided by TCP/IP used for transmitting the files from one host to another. It is mainly used for transferring the web page files from their creator to the computer that acts as a server for other computers on the internet.
4) A client and server ChatApplication
In this application client and server sends, reads and replies the messages to each other. It is a cmd based chat application. Below is the image of the chat application view.
