Client/Server Client/Client Connection
Author
Hi,
i'm working on a 3D Chat (WINSOCK and C++) and i need to know some suggest about a Public Chat and a Private Chat. For Example:
In public chat i can send all message to server and the server send this messages to all client connected. And there i've no problem.
The problem is when i try to connect two client for a private chat. In a private chat the messages don't will go to the server, but the messages are sended directly to another client. So i've implemented a thread for a "little server" into the client. But i've some problem with the port.
I need to know where i can learn something about this tecnique. Thanks a lot. And sorry for my bad english!
You could just have a flag in the packet (if its private) and only send that message to the correct person instead of broadcasting it to everyone else.
Edit: All of which would pass through the server.

Yes ok, that's work fine. But i need a peer to peer connection to send data like WebCam Streaming or Audio streaming. So i can't use the server to send this data type.

I've another problem: When i try so send multiple message to all client connected to my Server, i lost some messages. I use a structure like this:
for(itl = m_SClient.begin(); itl != m_SClient.end(); ++itl) { iStat = send(sRecSocket, msg.c_str() , msg.size()+1, 0); cout<<iStat<<"\n"; }
And... if you send it like this, in a for loop, and you are using udp, you probalby is using more bandwith than you have avaliable, it causes more packets to be drop than the usual.

TCP or UDP? Blocking or non-blocking?
