I need to know how to exchange data between one program on a computer (p-1) to another program on a different computer (p-2) (via TCP/IP). Then I need to know how to handle many p-1 programs exchanging data to only one p-2 program (p-1 are clients and p-2 is a server). For example: how can I have many p-1 programs place their requests on a data stack until p-2 can process the request and return a result? Eventually I need to know how to handle requests in parallel with threads and different port numbers, but that is a different question, but it would be nice if the book covered simple to complex designs with basic socket examples. I know it is asking for alot and any help is welcome!
