The applications are the entities that communicate with each other to exchange services “Client” applications request service “Server” applications provide service.

Listen to a well-known port and passively open connection. Clients Run when needed, then terminate (i.e. finite) Actively Open TCP or UDP connection with Server’s socket.

In clients: Iterative mode: One client at-a-time in serial Concurrent mode: Several clients run at the same time In servers: Iterative mode: serve one client at-a-time (clients wait in a queue) Concurrent mode: serve multiple clients concurrently and independently. In addition, servers could chose the Transport layer protocol: UDP, i.e. connectionless TCP, i.e. connection-oriented

Parent Server passively opens the well-know port to listen for incoming connection requests Once opened, connections now use ephemeral ports between one client and one Child Server.

Process Control Block: ProcessID, UserID, Program Name. Where is the data Which line will execute next Figure shows two processes of the same program.
