Fall 2018 CSCI 373.001: Socket Complexity

A flawed example

• Problems with the GeeksforGeeks Socket Programming in C/C++ example
  • Only handles one client connection.
  • One socket read may not equal one socket write
• C/C++ requires loops, buffers, and delimiters as in this ancient program

Normalizing the I/O

Use a user-space reliable stream mechanism to extend the unreliable kernel-space socket byte stream.
