I’m creating a client/server pair in Java that, for now, only supports interlaced text communication via PrintWriters and BufferedReaders wrapped around both server and client’s IO streams.

I would like to implement a function that uses Image[Input/Output]Stream to send a BufferedImage from the server to the client at a set interval.

The problem is that I want the BufferedImages to be sent/received in separate threads so that the client/server can still send/receive text commands.

Can I create multiple streams or sockets? If so, is that the best way?

    One way to accomplish this with a single socket is multiplexing the individual streams over a single bytestream connected to the socket, a good implementation of this is BEEP.
