Are sockets full duplex?

WebsiteWill · 2003-07-23T15:04:32

What I mean is, if I have only one socket, can I both send and recieve on it at the same time? I''m thinking not and am planning to create an incoming socket and an outgoing socket so that i can have separate threads handle each one. Server might have multiples of both but the client will only need one of each as I see it. Server might not need more than one either. Depends on just how much info can be read/sent on a single socket. Though i''m betting that MMO amounts of traffic will be too much for just a single socket to handle. Thanks, Webby

You probably want to use a separate socket for spyware that you embed into the program. Just for organization purposes.

Spyware eh?

I''ll leave this issue until later as the design is scalable in the sense that other operations can be added fairly easily.

Who likes spyware anyway?
