Chương 3: Socket API

Nội dung
• Basics of socket
• Sockets API
BASICS OF SOCKET
Socket Pair
• four-tuple that defines the two endpoints of
the connection
– the local IP address
– local port
– foreign IP address
– foreign port
• The 2 values that identify each endpoint, an IP
address and a port number, are often called a
socket.

Buffer Sizes and Limitations
• Maximum size of an IPv4 datagram: 65,538 bytes
• MTU (Maximum transmission unit)
• Fragmentation when the size of the datagrram
exceeds the link MTU.
– DF bit (don’t fragment)
• MSS (maximum segment size): that announces to
the peer TCP the maximum amount of TCP data
that the peer can send per segment.
• MSS = MTU – fixed size of headers of IP and TCP
TCP output
UDP output
Protocol Usage by Common
Internet Applications
SOCKETS API
Socket Address Structures
• IPv4 Socket Address Structure: sockaddr_in
(including <netinet/in.h>)

Chương trình ví dụ: init_sockaddr_in.c


Datatypes required by the POSIX
specification
Address families in sys/socket.h
Value-Result Arguments
• when a socket address structure is passed to
any socket function, it is always passed by
reference.
• The length of the structure is also passed as
an argument.
• 2 directions: process à kernel or kernel à
process
Value-Result Arguments
• 3 functions: bind, connect & sendto: process à kernel

Chương trình ví dụ: ex_connect.c


Value-Result Arguments
• 4 functions: accept, recvfrom, getsockname,
and getpeername: kernel à process

Chương trình ví dụ: ex_getpeername.c


Address Conversion Functions
• They convert Internet addresses between ASCII strings (what
humans prefer to use) and network byte ordered binary values
(values that are stored in socket address structures).

#include <arpa/inet.h>
int inet_aton(const char *strptr, struct
in_addr *addrptr);
Returns: 1 if string was valid, 0 on error

in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *strptr);


Returns: 32-bit binary network byte ordered IPv4 address;
INADDR_NONE if error

char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr inaddr);


Returns: pointer to dotted-decimal string

Chương trình ví dụ: convert_IP.c


Address Conversion Functions (2)
#include <arpa/inet.h>
int inet_pton(int family, const char
*strptr, void *addrptr);
Returns: 1 if OK, 0 if input not a valid presentation format, -1 on
error

const char *inet_ntop(int family, const void


*addrptr, char *strptr, size_t len);
Returns: pointer to result if OK, NULL on error

Chương trình ví dụ: convert_IP_v4-6.c


Summary of address conversion
functions
sock_ntop function
• Problem of inet_ntop: it requires the caller
to pass a pointer to a binary address.
struct sockaddr_in addr;
inet_ntop(AF_INET,&addr.sin_addr,
str, sizeof(str));
• function sock_ntop
#include "unp.h"
char *sock_ntop(const struct sockaddr
*sockaddr, socklen_t addrlen);
Chương trình ví dụ: example_of_sock_ntop.c
Compare inet_ntop and sock_ntop
read()
• read() Function:
• The read() function is used to read data from a file descriptor, which
can include socket file descriptors. For socket streams, read() reads
data sent by a peer over the network.
• ssize_t read(int sockfd, void *buf, size_t count);
• Parameters:
• sockfd: The file descriptor of the socket (created
using socket()).
• buf: A pointer to a buffer where the data read from
the socket will be stored.
• count: The maximum number of bytes to read (size of
the buffer).
read()
• read() function returns:
– On success, the number of bytes actually read is
returned (this can be less than count if fewer
bytes are available).
– On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
– If the peer has closed the connection, 0 is
returned (end-of-file).
read()
• Example:
char buffer[1024];
int n = read(sockfd, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
if (n > 0) {
printf("Received message: %s\n", buffer);
} else if (n == 0) {
printf("Connection closed by peer\n");
} else {
perror("read error");
}
write()
• write() Function:
• The write() function is used to send data to a
file descriptor, which can include socket file
descriptors. For socket streams, write() sends
data to the connected peer.

• ssize_t write(int sockfd, const void *buf,


size_t count);
write()
• Parameters:
• sockfd: The file descriptor of the socket (created
using socket()).
• buf: A pointer to the buffer containing the data to be
sent.
• count: The number of bytes to write (send) from the
buffer.
• Return Value:
• On success, the number of bytes actually written is
returned.
• On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
write()
• Example:
char *message = "Hello, server!";
int n = write(sockfd, message,
strlen(message));
if (n > 0) {
printf("Message sent: %s\n",
message);
} else {
perror("write error");
}
