Java Socket Programming

Socket programming allows for communication between applications using TCP/IP protocols, with a socket representing an endpoint for the connection defined by an IP address and port number. Sockets can be used for both reliable stream-based TCP connections and unreliable datagram-based UDP connections. Key socket functions include creating, binding, listening for, accepting, reading from and writing to sockets to enable client-server applications to exchange data over a network.

What is a socket?
• Socket
– The combination of an IP address and a port number.
– The name of the Berkeley-derived application programming inter-
faces (APIs) for applications using TCP/IP protocols.
– Two types
• Stream socket : reliable two-way connected communication streams
• Datagram socket

• Socket pair
– Specified the two end points that uniquely identifies each TCP con-
nection in an internet.
– 4-tuple: (client IP address, client port number, server IP address,
server port number)
Sockets for server and client
• Server
– Welcoming socket
• Welcomes some initial contact from a client.
– Connection socket
• Is created at initial contact of client.
• New socket that is dedicated to the particular client.

• Client
– Client socket
• Initiate a TCP connection to the server by creating a socket ob-
ject. (Three-way handshake)
• Specify the address of the server process, namely, the IP ad-
dress of the server and the port number of the process.
Socket functional calls
• socket (): Create a socket
• bind(): bind a socket to a local IP address and port #
• listen(): passively waiting for connections
• connect(): initiating connection to another socket
• accept(): accept a new connection
• Write(): write data to a socket
• Read(): read data from a socket
• sendto(): send a datagram to another UDP socket
• recvfrom(): read a datagram from a UDP socket
• close(): close a socket (tear down the connection)

Socket programming with TCP

Example client-server app:


• client reads line from standard
input (inFromUser stream) ,
sends to server via socket Client
Input stream:
(outToServer stream) process sequence of bytes
• server reads line from socket output stream: into process
• server converts line to upper- sequence of bytes
case, sends back to client out of process
• client reads, prints modified
line from socket (inFrom-
Server stream) client TCP
socket
Client/server socket interaction: TCP
Server (running on hostid) Client
create socket,
port=x, for
incoming request:
welcomeSocket =
ServerSocket()

TCP create socket,


wait for incoming
connection request connection setup connect to hostid, port=x
connectionSocket = clientSocket =
welcomeSocket.accept() Socket()

send request using


read request from clientSocket
connectionSocket

write reply to
connectionSocket read reply from
clientSocket
close
connectionSocket close
clientSocket
Socket Programming with UDP
• UDP
– Connectionless and unreliable service.
– There isn’t an initial handshaking phase.
– Doesn’t have a pipe.
– transmitted data may be received out of order, or lost

• Socket Programming with UDP


– No need for a welcoming socket.
– No streams are attached to the sockets.
– the sending hosts creates “packets” by attaching the IP destination
address and port number to each batch of bytes.
– The receiving process must unravel to received packet to obtain the
packet’s information bytes.
Example: Java client (UDP)

Client
Input: receives
process
packet (UDP
received “byte
Output: sends
stream”)
packet (UDP sent
“byte stream”)

client UDP
socket
Client/server socket interaction: UDP
Server (running on hostid) Client

create socket, create socket,


port=x, for clientSocket =
incoming request: DatagramSocket()
serverSocket =
DatagramSocket()
Create, address (hostid, port=x,
send datagram request
using clientSocket
read request from
serverSocket

write reply to
serverSocket
specifying client read reply from
host address, clientSocket
port umber close
clientSocket
Concurrent server
• Servers need to handle a new connection
request while processing previous requests.
– Most TCP servers are designed to be concurrent.
• When a new connection request arrives at a
server, the server accepts and invokes a new
process to handle the new client.
