Opening and Closing Sockets

Macca

Hi,

I am writing an app that will have a socket server to listen for and process
data from 20+ clients. These clients will send data aproximately every
400-500ms.

I was wondering if it is possible when i have established a connection with
a client to keep that connection open rather than opening and closing every
400-500ms as i'd imagine there is overhead involved in this.

Is this possible?

Thanks In Advance
Macca

It's possible IF the client does the same thing. if the client close the
connection you will receive a new connection request anyway

Just adding a bit to this.

Keep in mind that both client and server need to establish a "common ground"
or "common set of rules" that they will both obey. If you want the server
side to use a persistant type of connection then the client must also
implement it. If the client is a 3rd party (ie. not your code) then you
will have to code your server to whatever "rules" the client has.. and the
same is true if the server code is not yours - you will have to code your
client to whatever "rules" the server has.

closing a server socket

by: simon place | last post by:

Spent some very frustrating hours recoding to find a way of closing a server socket, i'd not thought it would be any problem, however, after complete failure and as a last resort, i looked at the python wrapper module for sockets, and found that the close command doesn't actually call the underlying close! this didn't seem right, so i added it, and my code now works simply and as expected. def close(self):

Closing listening socket also closes accepted sockets (?)

by: Lenard Gunda | last post by:

Hi, I have the following problem when I am working with sockets in C#. I do not remember running into the same problem some while ago, when working with sockets from C++ (using native code, not managed). I create a server socket, and then listen on it. I then accept a new connection from that server socket. If I now close the server socket, it also closes the accepted connection as well, automatically. This feels stupid.

Closing Sockets

by: Funke | last post by:

Assume that in C#, I create a server socket (listener) and code to start new threads with each connection using BeginAccept(). After some time, I have three threads running, each with their own client socket connection. If I close the listener socket, will the client sockets also shut down? Or do I need to manually shut these down as well?
