Exercise 3: Multiuser Chat using UDP

Karun Anantharaman - 195001049

AIM:
Develop a chat application between a client and server using UDP. Update the program to
support multiple clients (using fd_set() and select() functions of C.)
ALGORITHM:
SERVER
1. Create a UDP socket using socket() system call.
2. Bind() is used to bind the socket with a specified address defined by sockaddr_in
pointer, with the address, family, port set accordingly, bzero() is used to clear
the address pointer initially.
3. Initialize a descriptor set for select and calculate a maximum of 3 descriptor for
which server will wait
4. Call select and get the ready descriptor (UDP)
5. Handle new connection and receive the data gram
CLIENT
1. Create a UDP socket using socket() system call.
2. Send message to server
3. Wait until response from server is received.
4. Close socket descriptor and exit.
