EXPERIMENT-6
CVM University IOT Minor Degree Programme 12 August 2022

• Python provides two levels of access to network services.


• At a low level, user can access basic socket support in the Raspbian OS
• Sockets allow to implement client and server for both connection-oriented and
connectionless protocols.
• Python has libraries that provide higher-level access to specific application-level
network protocols, such as FTP, HTTP, and so on

3 WHAT IS SOCKETS?

• Sockets are the endpoints of a bidirectional communications channel.


• Sockets may communicate within a process, between processes on the same
machine, or between processes on different continents.
• Sockets may be implemented over a number of different channel types: Unix
domain sockets, TCP, UDP, and so on.
• The socket library provides specific classes for handling the common transports
as well as a generic interface for handling the rest.
• Sockets have their own vocabulary

4 TERM & DESCRIPTION

• Domain : Family of protocols which are used as transport mechanism. These values are
constants such as AF_INET, PF_INET, PF_UNIX, PF_X25, and so on.
• Type: Type of communications between the two endpoints, typically SOCK_STREAM for
connection-oriented protocols and SOCK_DGRAM for connectionless protocols
• Protocol: Typically, zero. Used to identify a variant of a protocol within a domain and type.
• Hostname: The identifier of a network interface −
• A string, which can be a host name, a dotted-quad address, or an IPV6 address in colon (and
possibly dot) notation
• . Port: Each server listens for clients calling on one or more ports. A port may be a Fixnum port
number, a string containing a port number, or the name of a service.

5 THE SOCKET MODULE

• To create a socket, use the socket.socket() function available in socket module,


which has the general syntax s = socket.socket (socket_family, socket_type, protocol=0)
• socket_family − This is either AF_UNIX or AF_INET
• socket_type − This is either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM
• protocol − This is usually left out, defaulting to 0.
• Once socket object is created , then required functions to create client or server
program can be used

SERVER SOCKET METHODS GENERAL SOCKET METHODS
• s.recv(): Receives TCP message
• s.bind() : binds address (hostname,
port number pair) to socket. • s.send() : Transmits TCP message
• s.listen() : sets up and start TCP
• s.recvfrom() : Receives UDP message
listener
• s.accept() : accept TCP client • s.sendto() : Transmits UDP message
connection, wait until connection
• s.close(): closes socket
arrives (blocking).
Client Socket Methods • socket.gethostname(): Returns the
• s.connect() : Actively initiates TCP
hostname
server connection.

7 A SIMPLE SERVER

• #!/usr/bin/python # This is server.py file • while True:


• import socket # Import socket module • c, addr = s.accept() # Establish connection
• s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object with client.

• host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine • print 'Got connection from', addr
name • c.send('Thank you for connecting')
• port = 12345 # Reserve a port for your service. • c.close() # Close the connection
• s.bind((host, port)) # Bind to the port
• s.listen(5) # Now wait for client
connection.

8 A SIMPLE CLIENT

• #!/usr/bin/python # This is client.py file


• import socket # Import socket module
• s = socket.socket() # Create a socket object
• host = socket.gethostname() # Get local machine name
• port = 12345 # Reserve a port for your service.
• s.connect((host, port))
• print s.recv(1024)
• s.close() # Close the socket when done
