Unix BSD 4.3 Features

• Network Independent

• Unified Abstraction Called Socket

• Location Transparency

• Flexibility

• Broadcast Facility


4

IPC Primitives

Application Layer

• The basic building block for communication is the socket

Sockets

Transport Layer

Internet Layer

Network Access Layer


5

IPC Primitives contd..

• socket()• bind()• connect()• listen()• accept()


6


socket()

• #include<sys/types.h>• #include<sys/socket.h>• s = socket(domain, type, protocol);

• Two main communication domain of a socket: AF_UNIX AF_INET

• Two most common types: SOCK_STREAM: Stream sockets SOCK_DGRAM: Datagram sockets


7

•Bind()

int bind (int s, struct sockaddr *addr, int addrlen);

struct sockaddr_in struct sockaddr{ {short int sin_family; unsigned short

sa_family;unsigned short int sin_port; char

sa_data[14];

struct in_addr sin_addr; };unsigned char sin_zero[8];

};

• Connect()

int connect(int s, struct sockaddr *servr_addr, int servr_addrlen);• listen()

int listen (int s, int backlog);

• accept()

snew=accept ( s, client_addr, client_addrlen);

Connection oriented communication

•Stream based communication.•Connection establish process is asymmetric.

•Useful in client – server applications.•Acknowledgement after successful

delivery.



10

System Calls for connection oriented communication

s= socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM,0);

connect(s, server_addr, server_addr_length);

wwwwrite(s,”Hello..”, msg_length);

close(s);

s=socket(AF_NET, SOCK_STREAM,0);

bind(s,sever_addr, server_addr_length);

listen(s,backlog);

snew=accept(s,client_addr,client_addr_length);nbytes=read(snew,buffer,amount);

close(snew);close(s);


11

Connectionless Communication

•Provides symmetric Interface to data exchange.

•Good for short , quick communication.

System calls for Connectionless Communication

Socket()

Bind()

RecvFrom()

SendTo()

bind(s , receiver _ address , receiver _ address _ len )

Amount = recvfrm (s , buffer,sender_addres

s)

socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0)

Socket()

Bind()

SendTo()

RecvFrom()

sendto (s ,” message ”, receiver _ address)

bind(s , sender _ address , sender _ address _ len )

Close(s)

Data (Request)

Data (Reply)
