Asynchronous Socket Server

Hi,

I am implementing an asynchronous socket server in my application. It will
take data from connected clients and put it into a thread safe array that
other threads in my application use.

I need to allow other threads in my application to communicate with the
Socket server to send data back to the clients.

I'm not sure what the most efficent method is to do this.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks In Advance

As you have array list for received data you can introduce thread safe queue, where thread will put info that is required to be sent over network. Events (AutoResetEvent ) can be use to introduce notification mechanism.

This approach will introduce monitoring thread that will wait on the event, if event is signaled it will send data put into the queue...

Hi, I am using asynchronous socket (BeginAccept for example). I tried to name each thread I am using but threads created by asynchronous Socket functions (like BeginAccept) creates "anonymous" threads. I named the thread (see sample code below) in Accept callback started by BeginAccept but all connections accepted run in a thread that has the same name ! So, even a new thread is not started by BeginAccept, even my naming is

I'm writing a little console socket server but I'm having some difficulty. Can I ask your advice - where is the best place to get some help on that topic? It would be nice if some people who knew what they were doing could take a look at my code and tell me where and why I'm going wrong. Any suggestions of groups or forums?

I am writing an application that uses asynchronous sockets to get data over ethernet from embedded devices, up to 30 concurrent devices.(These devices are written in C). My application implements an asychronous socket server while the embedded devices are the clients When the data comes in over the socket it is eventually passed into a message queue.

My app has an asynchronous socket server. It will have 20 clients connected to the server. Each client sends data every 500 millisecondsThe Connections once established will not be closed unless there is a problem with the connection. I need to know which client has sent the incoming data as each client has its own buffer on my "server" app. I am using the standard asynch socket code from MSDN to listen for connections and they...

Hi, I'm writing my own implementation of the Gnutella P2P protocol using C#. I have implemented it using BeginReceive and EndReceive calls so as not to block when waiting for data from the supernode.

Hello everyone here. This is my first post in this newsgroup, I hope I won't be to much off-topic. Feel free to redirect me to any better group. I am getting strange timing issues when failing to asynchronously connect sockets on closed or filtered ports, but I'm quite unsure if this is a PHP issue or my misunderstanding, as it seems that socket streams only wrap around <sys/socket.h>.

Hi every1, I am writing a small client/server application and in it I want to send an image asynchronous from the client to the server through a TCP socket. I found an example code on the MSDN site, which is actually for sending strings. I tried to adapt this code so that the client sends an image instead of a string. However, there is something wrong on the server side (i guess)... The server starts listening, the client starts sending...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
