Network Basics
A Network is
 Represent interconnection of computing devices either by using cable or wireless devices for
resources sharing.
 In network, there may be several computers, some of them receiving the services and some
providing services to other.
 The computer which receives service is called a client.
 The computer which provides the service is called server.

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 3

Networking Terminology
 IP Address : A unique identification number allotted to every device on a network.
 DNS (Domain Name Service) : A service on internet that maps the IP addresses with
corresponding website names.
 Port Number : 2 byte unique identification number for socket.
 URL (Uniform Resource Locator): Global address of document and other resources on the
world wide web.
 TCP/IP: Connection oriented reliable protocol, highly suitable for transporting data reliably on a
network.
 UDP: Transfers data in a connection less and unreliable manner

Network Programming 
 The term network programming refers to writing programs that execute across multiple devices
(computers), in which the devices are all connected to each other using a network.
 java.net package provides many classes to deal with networking applications in Java
 Here there are few classes related to the connection and then identifying a connection
 InetAddress
 URL

Client – Server Architecture
 A Client-Server Architecture consists of two types of components: clients and servers.
 A server component is waiting for requests from client components.
 When a request is received, the server processes the request, and then send a response back to
the client.

Socket Overview
 “A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the
network.”
 A Socket is combination of an IP address and a port number.
 A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data
is destined to be sent to.

 There are two kinds of TCP sockets in java.

 One is for server, and other is for client.
 The Socket class is for clients, and ServerSocket class is for server.

extracted, and the loop again waits for the next Computer
client.

The Java code for creating socket at client side.

Socket sock = new Socket(“www.darshan.ac.in”,80);

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 23

TCP/IP socket setup at Client & Server side
 At server side, create server socket with some port number using ServerSocket class of
java.net package.
ServerSocket ss=new  ServerSocket(int port);  

 Now, we should make the server wait till a client accepts connection, this is done using accept()
method.
 This object is used to establish communication with the clients
Socket s=ss.accept();  

 At client side, create socket with host name and port number using Socket class.
 Use following formats for creating a object of Socket class.
Socket s=new Socket(String hostName, int port);  
OR
Socket s=new Socket(InetAddress ipAddress, int port); 

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 24

Sockets class method
 Socket defines several instance method.
Method Description
public InetAddress getInetAddress() Returns the address of the Socket object. 
public int getPort() Returns the remote port to which the invoking Socket object is
connected
public int getLocalPort() Returns the local port number.
public InputStream getInputStream() Returns an input stream that reads(receive) data from this open
throws IOException connection. 
public OutputStream getOutputStream() Returns an output stream that writes(send) data to open connection.

(I/O) package in Java
 In Java, streams are the sequence of data that are read from the source and written to the
destination.
 The java.io package contains nearly every class you might ever need to perform input and
output (I/O) in Java.
 There are two type of Streams
 InPutStream − The InputStream is used to read data from a source.
 OutPutStream − The OutputStream is used for writing data to a destination.
 PrintStream – it formats the primitive values as text

PrintStream OutputStream InputStream BufferedReader

Server ServerSocket Socket Client

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 26

Creating a Server That Sends Data
 Create a server socket with port number
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket (8070);  
 Waiting for establish a connection with client
Socket s=ss.accept();  
 For sending a data attach output stream to the server socket using getOutputStream() method.

OutputStream obj=s.getOutputStream();
 Create PrintStream object to send data into the socket
PrintStream ps=new PrintStream(obj);
 Call print() or println() method to send data.
ps.println(str);
 Close the connection.
ss.close(); //close ServerSocket
s.close(); //close Socket
ps.close(); // //close PrintStream
Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 27
Creating a Client That Receiving Data
 Create a Socket object with server address and port number
Socket s=new  Socket(“localhost”,8070);  
 For receiving data attach input stream to the socket, using getInputStream() method
InputStream inStr=s.getInputStream();
 To read the data from socket, we can take the help of BufferedReader
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStr));

 Reade data from BufferedReader object using read() or readLine() method.

String receivedMessage = br.readLine();

 Close the connection.

br.close(); //close BufferReader
s.close(); //close Socket

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 28

Datagrams
 Datagrams are bundles of information passed between machines.
 A datagram is an independent, self-contained message sent over the network whose arrival,
arrival time, and content are not guaranteed.
 Once the datagram has been released to its intended target, there is no assurance that it will
arrive or even that someone will be there to catch it.
 When the datagram is received, there is no assurance that it hasn’t been damaged in transit or
that whoever sent it is still there to receive a response
 Java implements datagrams on top of the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocol by using two
classes:
 DatagramPacket object is the data container.
 DatagramSocket is the mechanism used to send or receive the DatagramPackets.

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 30

DatagramSocket
 DatagramSocket class represents a connection-less socket for sending and receiving datagram
packets.
 Use following formats for creating a object of DatagramSocket class
DatagramSocket ds=new  DatagramSocket() throws SocketException;  
 it creates a datagram socket and binds it with the available Port Number on the localhost
machine.
DatagramSocket ds=new  DatagramSocket(int port) throws SocketException 

 it creates a datagram socket and binds it with the given Port Number.
DatagramSocket ds=new  DatagramSocket(int port,InetAddress ipAddress) throws SocketException  

 it creates a datagram socket and binds it with the specified port number and host address.

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 31

DatagramSocket class method
 DatagramSocket defines several instance method.
Method Description
public InetAddress getInetAddress() If the socket is connected, then the address is returned. 
public int getPort() Returns the number of the port to which the socket is connected.
public int getLocalPort() Returns the local port number.
public boolean isBound() Returns true if the socket is bound to an address.
public boolean isConnected() Returns true if the socket is connected to a server.

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 32

DatagramPacket
 Java DatagramPacket is a message that can be sent or received.
 If you send multiple packet, it may arrive in any order.
 Additionally, packet delivery is not guaranteed.
 Use following formats for creating a object of DatagramPacket class
DatagramPacket  dp=new  DatagramPacket(byte data[ ],int size)  
 it specifies a buffer that will receive data and the size of a packet.
 It is used for receiving data over a DatagramSocket
DatagramPacket dp=new  DatagramPacket(byte data[ ], int offset,int size)
 Allows you to specify an offset into the buffer at which data will be stored.
DatagramPacket  dp=new  DatagramPacket(byte data[ ], int size, InetAddress ipAddress, int port)  
 It’s transmits packets beginning at the specifies a target address and port, which are used by a
DatagramSocket to determine where the data in the packet will be sent.

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 33

Sending DatagramPacket by DatagramSocket
 Create a DatagramSocket object.
DatagramSocket ds=new DatagramSocket ();  
 Create a InetAddress object with reciver’s ip address
InetAddress ip = InetAddress.getByName(“Reciver Address”);
 For sending a data create DatagramPacket object and pass the data within constructure,
 Also specify the size of data, address of receiver with port number
DatagramPacket dp=new  DatagramPacket(byte data[ ], int size, InetAddress ipAddress, int port)  

 Call send() method of DatagramSocket and pass DatagramPacket into method.

ds.send(dp);

 Close the connection.

ds.close(); //close DatagramSocket

Prof. Rajkumar B Gondaliya #3160707 (AJP)  Unit 1 – Java Networking 34

Receiving DatagramPacket by DatagramSocket
 Create a Datagram Socket object with specific port number.
DatagramSocket ds=new DatagramSocket (int port);  
 Create a byte array for store a receive data, working like a buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];  
 For receiving a data create Datagram Packet object and pass buffer and buffer size in
constructor
DatagramPacket dp=new  DatagramPacket(buffer,1024)  

 Call receive() method of DatagramSocket and pass DatagramPacket into method.

ds.receive(dp);
 Call getData() method of DatagramPacket for reading data.
String str =new String(dp.getData(),0,dp.getLength());

 Close the connection.
