Socket Programming Labs – Python Client/Server and Multithreading

Lab 1 — Introduction to Sockets (Client Basics)

Objectives
- Understand what a socket is.

- Create and connect to a TCP server.

- Send and receive simple text messages.

Tasks
- Create a TCP socket and connect to [Link].

- Send an HTTP GET request.

- Receive the first 1024 bytes and print the response.

Questions
- What is AF_INET vs SOCK_STREAM?

- What happens if the port is closed?

- Why do we use encode()?

Lab 2 — Simple TCP Server (One Client Only)

Objectives
- Create a server that listens on a port.

- Accept only one connection.

- Send and receive simple messages.

Tasks
- Bind to [Link]:5000 and listen.

- Accept one client and print 'Client connected'.

- Receive a message and reply 'Message received'.

Questions
- Why is accept() called once?
- What happens if another client tries to connect?

- Why loops are needed for multi-client servers?

Lab 3 — Multithreading TCP Server

Objectives
- Handle multiple clients simultaneously.

- Use threads to avoid blocking.

Tasks
- Listen on port 5000.

- Create a new thread for each client.

- Echo messages until client sends 'bye'.

Questions
- What problem does multithreading solve?

- Does a slow client block others?

- Draw the accept() threading diagram.

Lab 4 — Packet Capture and Analysis (Wireshark)

Objectives
- Visualize TCP handshake.

- Analyze client/server packets.

Tasks
- Run server and capture traffic.

- Find SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK.

- Observe data and FIN packets.

Questions
- Difference between TCP segment and application message?

- Why can messages be split?
