Client-Server Process Communication System
Networked client-server application using the TCP/IP protocol. The project enhances an inter-process communication system by extending it to operate over a network, supporting both data point transfers and file transfers between multiple clients and a server.
The Challenge
Modern distributed systems require robust inter-process communication that can handle high-volume data transfers across networks reliably. Traditional communication methods often struggle with scalability, error handling, and concurrent connection management, limiting system performance in real-world applications.
The Solution
Engineered a high-performance client-server communication system using C++ and TCP/IP protocols, designed to handle massive concurrent connections while maintaining data integrity. The system supports both data point transfers and file transfers with optimized protocols for maximum efficiency and reliability.
Technical Highlights
- Implemented low-level socket programming in C++ with TCP/IP protocol for reliable network communication
- Designed multithreaded architecture supporting up to 1 million concurrent client connections
- Built robust error handling and recovery mechanisms ensuring data integrity across network failures
- Optimized data transmission protocols achieving 30% improvement in throughput efficiency
- Created comprehensive testing framework validating system performance under high-load conditions
