Sending and receiving data simultaneously using BSD sockets

nagaraju1024 · 06-25-2010, 04:54 AM

Hi Friends,

I wold like to send a data using one thread and receive a data using other thread by using a same socket connection using USD sockets. The calls i am using for sending and receiving are send(), recv(). let me know is it possible to send and receive the data parallel(Full duplex communication)?

Regards,
Nagaraju D

Hello,

It depend on the application, if you want to send data after a client has sent you a request then your previous code is ok. If you want to initiate the sending then you need to create the connection first, that means your machine is a client and the other machine must run a server.

So first start a server on other machine and after that run ur client process on ur machine. I think this is the only way.

Hi i will explain my scenerrio clearly. I have client and server programme. In side my server program i have two threads one thread is used for receiving the data and other thread is used for sending the data. I started the server and client and server accepeted the connection. But both server and client are sending data parallelly but afther server is receiving all the data only client is started receiving. But i want to receive data in both server and client sides simultaneously.
