Network Programming

with Python
First: A Little Theory
Client/Server model
Network sockets
TCP/IP protocol suite
Clients and Servers
Clients and Servers
Machines vs. Programs
Examples of Server programs:
Apache
Tornado
Examples of Client programs:
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Network Sockets
Used to identify particular processes
(programs) on particular machines.
Socket is composed of two numbers:
IP address: machine identifier
Port number: process identifier
Berkeley Sockets most common approach
to sockets.
A connection between two computers can
be represented as two sockets: one for the
client machine and program, one for the
server machine and program.
Port Numbers
Well-known ports
0-1023
Examples:
25: SMTP (email), 80: HTTP (web), 110:
POP3 (email), 443: HTTPS (secure web)
Registered ports
1024-49151
Private/Dynamic ports
49151-65535
TCP/IP
Layers of protocols (link, internet,
transport, application).
Mainly, we're concerned with TCP
One alternative to TCP is UDP.
NOW FOR CODE!!!!!!
Steps for the server
Create socket object
Bind socket object to a particular socket
Listen
Program loop:
Accept connections from clients
[Do program stuff]
Close socket
Loopback Interface
IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Refers to the machine the program is
running on.
Not really networking (more like
interprocess communication), but good for
starting network programming.
Steps for the client
Create socket object
Ask to connect to a particular socket (THE
SERVER'S SOCKET)
[Do program stuff]
Close the socket
Extra stuff
recvall() method
Python provides sendall() method
Reuse address option
Sending a single message
Time to add program code!
