Socket and Communication Protocol Quiz

Socket Class in C#

• The Socket class is used to create a socket object in C#.

Socket Class Parameters

• The three parameters of the Socket class are:
  • Address Family
  • Socket Type
  • Protocol Type

Synchronous Socket Programming

• In synchronous socket programming, the request is made when the Connect or Send method is called.

Asynchronous Socket Programming

• Asynchronous socket programming is recommended to be used when:
  • Handling multiple clients simultaneously
  • Reducing blocking calls
  • Improving application responsiveness

Protocol in C# Code

• The Tcp protocol is used in the provided C# code for creating a chatting program between client and server.

Role of Socket in Network Programming

• The role of the socket in network programming is to:
  • Establish a connection between a client and a server
  • Enable data transmission between the client and server

Socket Class Parameters

• The ProtocolType parameter of the Socket class defines the type of data transmission:
  • Connection-oriented (TCP) or connectionless (UDP)

Asynchronous vs Synchronous Socket Programming

• Asynchronous socket programming is distinguished from synchronous socket programming by:
  • Non-blocking calls
  • Use of callbacks or events

IPEndPoint Class in UDP Protocol

• In a UDP protocol-based chatting program, the IPEndPoint class represents:
  • The endpoint of the remote host, including the IP address and port number

ProtocolType in Socket Class

• The primary purpose of using ProtocolType in a socket class is to:
  • Specify the protocol used for data transmission (TCP, UDP, etc.)
