Question

Write a client and server program using python. There are two clients, X and Y that will communicate with a server. Clients X and Y will each open a TCP socket to your server and send a message to your server. The message contains the name of the client followed by your name (e.g., “Client X: Alice”, “Client Y: Bob”).

The server will accept connections from both clients and after it has received messages from both X and Y will print their messages and then send an acknowledgment back to your clients. The acknowledgment from the server should contain the sequence in which the client messages were received (“X: Alice received before Y: Bob”, or “Y: Bob received before X: Alice”). After the server sends out this message it should output a message saying - “Sent acknowledgment to both X and Y”. Your server can then terminate. Once your clients receive the message from the server, they should print the message that they sent to the server, followed by the reply received from the server. The following figure explains the problem.

Explanation / Answer

As per the above problem statement, we will start the program step by step:

Step 1: Creating the TCP/IP socket

Step 02: Bind the socket to the port

Step 03:Calling listen() puts the socket into server mode, and accept() waits for an incoming connection.

Step 04: accept() returns an open connection between the server and client, along with the address of the client. The connection is actually a different socket on another port (assigned by the kernel). Data is read from the connection with recv() and transmitted with sendall()
