Multiplexing and Sockets
Abstract
In this chapter, you will learn about how multiplexing (and demultiplexing) and sockets are used in TCP/IP. We’ll see how multiplexing allows many applications can share a single TCP/IP stack process.
You will learn how layer and applications interact to make multiplexing and the socket concept very helpful in networking. We’ll use a small utility program to investigate sockets and illustrate the concepts in this chapter.
