It provides routines and help for implementing +IP based servers (currently TCP, UDP and ICMP). It is also possible to use +named pipes for all connection oriented protocols. We think it is worth the +effort because many people need server functionality within their applications. +However, many people experience problems with select()- or poll()-loops, and +with non-blocking operations. This application demonstrates various aspects of +advanced network programming in a portable manner. You can use it for +implementing your own servers or for understanding how certain network +services and operations work. The package includes a number of servers that +work already: an HTTP server, an IRC server, a Gnutella spider and some others. +One of the highlights is that you can run all protocols on the same port. The +application itself is single threaded but it uses helper processes for +concurrent name resolution and ident lookups. + +WWW: http://www.gnu.org/software/serveez/ |
