TCP Server

The TCP server is designed to allow programs written in the framework to be accessed from other applications. Through it, multiple clients can connect to an application, and each client can communicate in parallel with the modules within the application. TCP manages the parallel connections and forwards every incoming message to the addressed module. The message can indicate that a response to the request is expected. In this case, the server not only forwards the message but also waits for the response within the timeout period specified as a parameter and sends it back to the client.

TCP communication is discussed in the chapter on Data Storage & Communication .
