TCP socket program where each node initiates connection with some nodes and accepts connection with

[Kathryn Bean]

I am designing application where each node initiates connection with nodes
and accepts connection with other nodes. This application will be running
on Sun Unix platform. I think each node should perform dual roles, be a
TCP client and a TCP server and executes client and server codes in two
different threads. Is this approach correct? How should my "server" accept
new connections? One node can read several incoming messages and send
messages to different nodes.

Take care.

This is a C++ newsgroup. You are off topic here (comp.lang.c++), try a
networking group.
