This is yet another implementation of a simple TCP echo server. This echo server is capable of supporting multiple concurrent connections (configurable by modifying a macro constant in the source code).
But unlike most other implementations out there (at least on the first page of a google search), this implementation handles all these simultaneous connections without using fork() or any multithreading.
This server uses the poll() system call to multiplex all connections on the single main thread.
Use the provided make file to build the code.
makeTo build a debuggable executable, use the below command
make debug./echo_server <port_num>Use any telnet client as a TCP connection to send out messages and receive the (echo) responses.
