  • Waiting for interactions with the end-user, and responding when interactions occur
  • Waiting for messages coming from the server, and responding when messages arrive

server messages from connected clients: performing computations or obtaining information, and normally sending some information back to the requesting client and perhaps sending a message to another client or broadcasting messages to many clients at once.a record of the connection while a client is connected when necessary, which involves such actions as notifying each client before terminating its connectionitself so that it is able to provide the required servicenew client connections if it has stopped listening3.4 - The Client-Server Architectureto serve currently connected clients after it has stopped listening  at least two concurrent threads, and in general n+2, threads where n is the number of connected clientsprocess many clients simultaneously  
  • Waiting for interactions with the user who is in charge of the server, and responding as necessary
  • Waiting for clients to try to connect and establishing connections as needed
  • For each connected client, waiting for messages coming from that client, and responding when messages arrive
clients attempting to connectlistening if the number of connected clients becomes too high, or prior to shutting downconnections from many clients  messages from all the connected clients   the same computer as its clients or on a different computerprogram  clients - the client may request disconnection by sending a message to the server, the client may just disappear suddenly due to the client crashing or the network connecting going down, or the server may force a client to disconnect if the client is not behaving well  A program or process that, in response to requests from clients, provides some kind of servicea client at the same time
