Accepting tips about implementing a server with Boost libraries

[Ramon F Herrera]

(I tried to post this in the Boost NG but the NNTP access failed)

In every case I have implemented some server before, it has been based
on somebody else's code (Oracle, etc.).

Since now I need two programs of mine to perform IPC, I am considering
implementing an UDP or TCP server which listens on some port.

I have less than a week experience with Boost, but I am already a
convert. What a great set of libraries!

Has anyone out there used the Boost IPC facilities? Are there any
tips, hints, caveats or code you would like to share?

TIA,

-Ramon

The Boost IPC/networking library provides plenty of examples, such as
a time server which can be modified for one's purposes.

Sample code is provided for several variations: client and server, UDP
and TCP, asynchronous and synchronous.

Everything looks very straightforward. Kudos and thanks to the folks
in charge of Boost.
