9. Sockets for Clients

• Socket Basics :
  • A socket is a reliable connection for the transmission of data between two hosts.
  • Sockets isolate programmers from the details of packet encodings, lost and retransmitted packets, and packets that arrive out of order.
  • Operations: Connect to a remote machine
    Send data,Receive data,Close the connection
  • A socket may not reconnect after it's closed
• Investigating Protocols with Telnet
• The Socket Class
  • java.net.Socket class allows the developer to create socket objects
  • allows connecting remote machine, sending and receiving data, end the communications.
  • Each socket connects one host, to connect different host new socket objects are required. 
• Socket Exceptions
  • Socket(String host, int port) throws UnknownHostException
• Socket Addresses
  • public Socket(InetAddress address, int port) throws IOException
  • public Socket(String host, int port, InetAddress localAddr, int localPort)
    throws IOException
  • public Socket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddr, int
    localPort) throws IOException
• Examples
