I have many copies of the same application running on the network. I
have already gotten my concept working. It involves using a UDP
socket to find computers, an then an array of TCP sockets to hold
connections with all the other computers. It already works, so I
could give a more specific description if you would like.
I was then observing the similarities between my system and a
ServerSocket, and I was thinking that I could simplify my networking
system and make it faster. A ServerSocket also has an array of TCP
sockets that hold connections, and the DataAvailable event is
consolidated, just like how the DataAvailable event in each socket in
my current system calls the same global method in a module.
The only thing I don't know is can a ServerSocket be used to connect
to another computer, or can it only listen for connections?
