| 2 | +we will implement a network with socket programming using server- client architecture. |
| 3 | +We have a single server that can handle requests from two different types of clients Admin Client and Member Client. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Getting Started |
| 6 | +1. The server has two groups (i.e. two chat groups). The communication between clients in any group is handled by the server. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +2. The server offers two services: SUBSCRIBE (for Member Clients only) and BROADCAST (for Admin Clients only). |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +3. A Member Client can subscribe to one of the two groups. If a Member Client subscribes to a group, then they will receive all messages sent in this group. However, they can not |
| 11 | +receive any messages sent in the other group. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +4. A Member Client is NOT allowed to send any messages in the group. They just listen to the received announcements. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +5. An Admin Client is the only client that can broadcast messages to a group. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +6. If an Admin Client broadcasts a message to a group, then all the Member Clients in this |
| 18 | +group ONLY must receive this message. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +7. An Admin Client does not subscribe to a group. They just broadcast their messages to one of the two groups. Therefore, if an Admin Client decides to broadcast a message to |
| 21 | +all Member Clients subscribed to a group, the admin will not receive the message himself. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +8. The server must handle multiple requests from Member Clients at the same time. For example, the server can serve 3 Member Clients in Group 1 and 2 Member Clients in |
| 24 | +Group 2 at the same time. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +9. The server must handle mutliple requests from Admin Clients at the same time. For example, the server can serve 2 Admin Clients broadcasting to Group 1 and one admin |
| 27 | +client broadcasting to Group 2. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +10. If two admins are broadcasting to the same group at the same time, then the Member Clients of this group will receive the messages from both admins. However, the two |
| 30 | +admins will not see each others’ messages. |
| 31 | +11. The server provides the service SUBSRIBE at port 3000, and provides the service BROADCAST at port 3001. |
