Question

I have implemented TCp concurrent server and client in c using threads as well as forks.
But I don’t have any way to check whether there is any other standard way of implementing
this.

I have goggled for standard coding stuff but didnt find anything useful.
Can someone pl z share some good links or code so that I can have a standard idea of
implementing Concurrent servers.

Thanks for help

There’s no “standard idea”. Your approach is going to depend on requirements, performance, scalability, and amount of time allowed for development.

• One thread per client
  • Possibly with a threadpool
• Multi-threaded pipeline model, with N workers
• One thread per server, using poll/select
• One thread per server, event-based with callbacks
• Forking children, one per client connection
  • pre-forking children, e.g. Apache web server

Etc. All of these have their uses.
