 Increased demand for Internet
applications
 To take advantage of opportunities presented by the
Internet, businesses are continuously seeking new
and innovative ways and means for offering their
services via the Internet.
 This created a huge demand for software designers
with skills to create new Internet-enabled
applications or migrate existing/legacy applications
on the Internet platform.
 Object-oriented Java technologies- Sockets,
threads, RMI, clustering, Web services have
emerged as leading solutions for creating portable,
efficient, and maintainable large and complex
Internet applications.

 Client/Server
 A server is anything that has some resource
that can be shared.
 There are compute servers, which provide
computing power; print servers, which
manage a collection of printers; disk servers,
which provide networked disk space; and web
servers, which store web pages.
 A client is simply any other entity that wants
to gain access to a particular server.

5
 Networking Basics
 Computers running on the Internet communicate
with each other using either the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) or the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP)

6
 DNS - Domain name system
 The Domain Name system (DNS) associates various
sorts of information with so-called domain names.
 Most importantly, it serves as the "phone book" for the
Internet by translating human-readable computer
hostnames, e.g. www.example.com, into the IP addresses,
e.g. 208.77.188.166, that networking equipment needs to
deliver information.
 It also stores other information such as the list of mail
exchange servers that accept email for a given domain.

7
 Understanding Ports
 The TCP and UDP
P
protocols use ports to o TCP

 Ports
 Data transmitted over the Internet is
accompanied by addressing information that
identifies the computer and the port for
which it is destined.
 The computer is identified by its 32-bit IP
address, which it uses to deliver data to the
right computer on the network.
 Ports are identified by a 16-bit number,
which TCP and UDP use to deliver the data to
the right application.
9
 Port
 Port numbers range from 0 to 65,535 (16-
bit)
◦ Ports 0 - 1023 are called well-known ports. They
are reserved for use by well-known services:
 20, 21: FTP
 23: TELNET
 25: SMTP
 110: POP3
 80: HTTP

Introduction to Sockets

11
 Socket

sockets (end points)

logical connection

• A socket is an endpoint for communication

between two machines.
• The combination of an IP address and a port
number.
12
 Socket Communication
• A server (program) runs on a specific computer
and has a socket that is bound toa specific port.
• The server waits and listens to the socket for a
client to make a connection request.

Connection request
port

server
Client

13
• The notion of a socket allows a single computer to
serve many different clients at once.
• This feat is managed by the introduction of a port,
which is a numbered socket on a particular machine.
• A server process is said to listen to a port until a
client connects to it

14
 Why Sockets?
◦ Used for Interprocess communication.
 The Client-Server model
◦ Client & Server are two processes that wants to
communicate with each other
◦ The Client process connects to the Server process,
to make a request for services own by the Server.
◦ Once the connection is established between Client
process and Server process, they can start sending
/ receiving information.
 What are Sockets?
◦ End-point of inter-process communication.
◦ An interface through which processes can
send / receive information

15
 What exactly creates a Socket?
◦ <IP address, Port #> tuple
 What makes a connection?
◦ {Source<IP address, Port #> , Destination <IP
address, Port #>} i.e. source socket – destination
socket pair uniquely identifies a connection.
 Example

1343 Client
192.168.0.2

80 1343
Server Client
192.168.0.1 192.168.0.3

5488
Client
192.168.0.2

16
 Socket Types
◦ STREAM – uses TCP which is reliable, stream
oriented protocol,
◦ DATAGRAM – uses UDP which is unreliable, message
oriented protocol
◦ RAW – provides RAW data transfer directly over IP
protocol (no transport layer)
 Sockets can use
◦ “unicast” ( for a particular IP address destination)
◦ “multicast” ( a set of destinations – 224.x.x.x)
◦ “broadcast” (direct and limited)
◦ “Loopback” address i.e. 127.x.x.x

17
 Transmission Control Protocol
 A connection-based protocol that provides a reliable
flow of data between two computers.
 Provides a point-to-point channel for applications that
require reliable communications.
◦ The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), and Telnet are all examples of applications
that require a reliable communication channel
 Guarantees that data sent from one end of the
connection actually gets to the other end and in the
same order it was sent. Otherwise, an error is
reported.
18
 User Datagram Protocol
 A protocol that sends independent packets of
data, called datagrams, from one computer to
another with no guarantees about arrival. UDP
is not connection-based like TCP and is not
reliable:
◦ Sender does not wait for acknowledgements
◦ Arrival order is not guaranteed
◦ Arrival is not guaranteed
 Used when speed is essential, even in cost of
reliability
◦ e.g. streaming media, games, Internet telephony, etc.
19
Proxy Server

 A proxy server is a dedicated computer or a

software system running on a computer that acts
as an intermediary between client and server
from which a user or client is requesting a service.
 The proxy server may exist in the same machine as
a firewall server or it may be on a separate server,
which forwards requests through the firewall.

20
Working of Proxy Server
 When a proxy server receives a request for an
Internet resource (such as a Web page), it looks in its
local cache of previous pages.
 If it finds the page, it returns it to the user without
needing to forward the request to the Internet.
 If the page is not in the cache, the proxy server,
acting as a client on behalf of the user, uses one of its
own IP addresses to request the page from the
server out on the Internet.
 When the page is returned, the proxy server relates
it to the original request and forwards it on to the
user.

21
Proxy Server
 Proxy servers are related to firewalls. If a
firewall prevents hosts on a network from
making direct connections to the outside world,
a proxy server can act as a go-between.
 Thus, a machine that is prevented from
connecting to the external network by a firewall
would make a request for a web page from the
local proxy server instead of requesting the
web page directly from the remote web server.

22
 One of the security advantages of using a proxy
server is that external hosts only find out about the
proxy server.
 They do not learn the names and IP addresses of
the internal machines, making it more difficult
to hack into internal systems.

23
Internet Addressing
 Every computer on the Internet has an address.
 An Internet address is a number that uniquely identifies each
computer on the Net.
 Originally, all Internet addresses consisted of 32-bit values.
 This address type was specified by IPv4 (Internet Protocol,
version 4).
 However, a new addressing scheme, called IPv6 (Internet
Protocol, version 6) has come into play.
 IPv6 uses a 128-bit value to represent an address.
 The main advantage of IPv6 is that it supports a much larger
address space than does IPv4.
 IPv4 is the most widely used scheme, but this situation is likely
to change over time.
24
Internet Addressing
 There are 32 bits in an IPv4 IP address, and we often refer to
them as a sequence of four numbers between 0 and 255
separated by dots (.).
 The first few bits define which class of network, letter A, B, C,
D, or E, the address represents.
 Most Internet users are on a class C network, since there are
over two million networks in class C.
 The first byte of a class C network is between 192 and 224,
with the last byte actually identifying an individual computer
among the 256 allowed on a single class C network.
 This scheme allows for half a billion devices to live on class C
networks.

25
Java and the Net
Internet Addressing
 Handling internet addresses (domain names,
and IP addresses) is made easy with Java.
 Internet addresses are represented in Java by
the InetAddress class.
 InetAddress provides simple methods to
convert between domain names, and
numbered addresses.

27
 InetAddress
 The InetAddress class is used to encapsulate
both the numerical IP address and the domain
name for that address.
 We interact with this class by using the name
of an IP host, which is more convenient and
understandable than its IP address.
 The InetAddress class hides the number
inside.

28
 InetAddress class
• static methods you can use to create new
InetAddress objects.
– getByName(String host)
– getAllByName(String host)
– getLocalHost()
– getByAddress(Byte[] addr)
– getByAddress(String host, Byte[] addr)

InetAddress x = InetAddress.getByName( “msbte.com”);

 Server sockets
◦ Wait for requests to come in over the network
◦ Implemented by java.net.ServerSocket class

 Client sockets
◦ Used to send and receive data
◦ Can be thought of as a pair of input and output
streams.
◦ Implemented by java.net.Socket class

39
Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 All the classes related to sockets are in the java.net package.
 All the input/output stream classes are in the java.io package.
 How to open a socket?
◦ If you are programming a client, then create object of Socket class.
◦ Machine name is the machine you are trying to open a connection to,
◦ PortNumber is the port (a number) on which the server you are trying
to connect to is running. select one that is greater than 1,023.

Socket MyClient;
try {
MyClient = new Socket("Machine name", PortNumber);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}

40
 Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 If you are programming a server, then this is how you open a socket:

ServerSocket MyService;
try {
MyServerice = new ServerSocket(PortNumber);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
 When implementing a server you also need to create a socket object from the
ServerSocket in order to listen for and accept connections from clients.
Socket clientSocket = null;
try {
clientSocket = MyService.accept();
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
41
Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 How to create an input stream?
◦ On the client side, you can use the DataInputStream class to create an
input stream to receive response from the server:
DataInputStream input;
try {
input = new DataInputStream(MyClient.getInputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}

◦ The class DataInputStream allows you to read lines of text and Java
primitive data types. It has methods such as read, readChar, readInt, readDouble,
and readLine,.
◦ On the server side, you can use DataInputStream to receive input from
the client: DataInputStream input;
try {
input = new
DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
42
Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 How to create an output stream?
◦ On the client side, you can create an output stream to send information
to the server socket using the class PrintStream or DataOutputStream
of java.io:
PrintStream output;
try {
output = new PrintStream(MyClient.getOutputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
◦ The class PrintStream has methods for displaying textual representation
of Java primitive data types. Its write and println methods are important.
Also, you may want to use the DataOutputStream:

DataOutputStream output;
try {
output = new DataOutputStream(MyClient.getOutputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
◦ Many of its methods write a single Java primitive type to the output stream.
The method writeBytes is a useful one.
43
 Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 On the server side
◦ you can use the class PrintStream to send information to the client.

PrintStream output;
try {
output = new PrintStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}

 Note:You can use the class DataOutputStream as mentioned previously.

44
Programming TCP Client-Server in Java
 How to close sockets?
◦ You should always close the output and input stream before you close
the socket.
◦ On the client side:
try {
output.close();
input.close();
MyClient.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
try {
◦ On the server side: output.close();
input.close();
clientSocket.close();
MyService.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
} 45
