This project requires students to implement a concurrent (multi-threaded) server for use in a client-server configuration to examine, analyze, and study the effects a concurrent server has on the efficiency (average turn-around time) of processing client requests. Instructions Students may refer to this Java ServerSocket Tutorial (Links to an external site.) and Running System Commands Tutorial (Links to an external site.) to help them create the server and client programs. Students must demonstrate their client and server programs, as well as collect data, using the provided Course Servers. Students should refer to the Accessing the Course Servers page for instructions on connecting to and using the two (2) Course Servers. Create two (2) programs: 1) a concurrent (multi-threaded) server that accepts requests from clients, and 2) a multi-threaded client capable of spawning numerous client sessions that connect to the server The server and client programs must connect to the same network address and port The concurrent (multi-threaded) server should spawn a new server instance for each client request (in parallel).

Local area networks use many of the same network technologies and the internet, only on a smaller scale. devices that access lans are equipped with a network interface that contains circuitry for wireless or wired connections. devices also have a physical address, in addition to the ip addresses acquired from a dhcp server. the most popular wired technology is . the most popular wireless technology is , which can be configured as a(n) or star topology. setting up a lan and configuring its router is fairly easy. the first step is to change the standard to one that is secure. next, create a(n) that uniquely identifies the network by name. it is also important to activate wireless to prevent wireless signals from being intercepted during transmission. a limited-access network can be created for visitors to use. by activating , the router will be able to assign ip addresses to each device that joins the network. to connect to a secure lan that is protected by encryption, an encryption , or password, is required. lans can be used to access data collected by iot devices and the networks that tie these devices together. technologies such as rfid, nfc, bluetooth smart, zigbee, and z-wave offer -power links, essential for battery-powered devices that can’t expend excess amounts of energy transmitting data.
