Hello all,
i want to write code which does the following:
Server listening on single port,
Many clients connect to the server request something, get some response and remain connected.
Problem is how can i make many client to get connected (via TCP) to a server (on a single port)
at a time?
I saw a Software named PHOENIX built on Linux that listen on 3020 port and many clients softwares connects to it on port 3020 at the same time and gets connected ,Phoenix fullfills all the client's request and they dont have to recconect
Thanx in advance,
Owais Iqbal

Take a look at this example:

In practice, you do it like this:
a) create the TCP listener
b) enter a listening loop, calling listener.Pending within short intervals to check for new connection requests
c) If pending is true, call listener.AcceptTcpClient or listener.AcceptSocket to accept the connection request
Now comes that multi-connection ability:
d) You serve the new client connection on a separate thread. So the listening loop can continue its work to connect other clients.
A simple example for accepting connections is also in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/
Here you go. This as basic code can get to be able to accept as many incoming connections as you want on port 3020.
You can try it by starting it and then doing a 'telnet localhost 3020' on two or three command prompt windows.
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Socket Listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.Inter
Listener.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 3020));
Listener.Listen(10);
Socket S;
while (true) {
Console.WriteLine("Listeni
S=Listener.Accept();
Console.WriteLine("Connect
Service Svc = new Service(S);
}
}
}
class Service {
Socket S;
public Service(Socket s) {
S=s;
Thread T=new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartService))
T.Start();
}
void StartService() {
while (true) {
S.Send(System.Text.Encodin
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
}
}

Typically the server listens on a specific port and then accepts incoming connections on a different port. Normally this is transparent to the cient.
What language/platform are you developing in?
