TCP Socket

The document outlines a network lab assignment focused on implementing TCP sockets in C. It includes two main programs: a String Reversal Server that reverses strings sent by a client, and a Calculator Client/Server that performs arithmetic operations over a network. Each program specifies the required functionalities and provides example outputs for clarity.

Network Lab Assignment # 6

TCP SOCKETS

Program # 1
String Reversal Server using TCP Sockets
The problem is to implement a client - server user-level application using sockets API in C. The Server
accepts strings from client (even multiple strings from client) and replies with reverse strings. For
example, when client sends “MNNITALLD”, Server replies with “DLLATINNM”. Both server and
client(s) have to output both sending & receiving strings on the terminal. The server and client processes
should be run on different machines.

Program # 2
The goal of this assignment is to implement a TCP client and server. Your TCP client/server will
communicate over the network and exchange data. The user interface (i.e., what’s displayed to the user)
should look the same for both the TCP applications.

Write a program named CalcClientTCP.c (or .cpp) that performs the following functions:
1. Take a server hostname and a port number as command-line arguments.
Note: Your client must resolve the hostname into an IP address.
2. Connect to the server at the given hostname and port using TCP.
3. Print the IP address and port of the server.
4. Ask the user for a simple arithmetic expression to calculate.
5. Send the expression to the server.
6. Read the answer from the server.
7. Display the answer to the user.
8. Repeat the steps 4-7 until the user enters the sentinel value given in the user prompt. When the user
enters the sentinel, the client must close the connection to the server and quit.

Write a program named CalcServerTCP.c (or .cpp) that performs the following functions:
1. Take a port number as a command-line argument.
2. Listen for a TCP connection on the port specified.
3. Print the IP address and port of the connected client.
4. Receive data from the client.
5. Evaluate the arithmetic expression.
6. Send the result back to the client.
7. If the connection is still open, repeat the steps 4-6 until the user presses Ctrl-C. If the connection is
closed, repeat steps 2-6 until the user presses Ctrl-C.
Example Output for Problem # 2:
The following is an example of execution of the TCP version assuming that the client is compiled with:
gcc CalcClientTCP.c –o CalcClientTCP
and the server is compiled with
gcc CalcServerTCP.c –o CalcServerTCP

Server Client
% ./CalcServerTCP 50000 % ./CalcClientTCP cash 50000
Server listening on port 50000 TCP client connected to 128.82.4.7 on port 50000
Client 128.82.4.75 on port 5983 connected Enter an expression in the following format:
operand1 operator operand2
Valid operators are + ­ * / ^. To quit, enter ­1.
3.5 * ­4
Received from client: 3.5 * ­4
Sending to client: ­14 ANS: 3.5 * ­4 = ­14
Enter an expression in the following format:
operand1 operator operand2
Valid operators are + ­ * / ^. To quit, enter ­1.
­1
Client closed connection Bye!
Server listening on port 50000
