Full Discussion: Need help about read() and write() on TCP/IP
Top Forums Programming Need help about read() and write() on TCP/IP Post 302469920 by Loic Domaigne on Monday 8th of November 2010 04:26:50 PM
Old 11-08-2010
Basically. the client and server exchange a stream of bytes. That is both send a bunch of bytes, and receive a bunch of bytes. Client and server needs to agree how to decode and interpret this bunch of bytes; this is what we call protocol between the client and the server.

For instance, when you're browsing this very site, a protocol based on TCP called HTTP is used between your web browser and the (apache) server.

So now the question is: how will the client understand the reply "busy update", "select beer", "select quantity" ? How will the client send to the server "light", "black" or "liter","bottle" ? What convention are you using? strings ? something else?

May I recommend this book UNIX Network Programming

Cheers,
Loïc
