Hi guys,

Quick question regarding sockets and testing.

I'm trying to implement a simple communication protocol to exchange data (strings) between 2 images and I was wondering what was the easiest way to test/develop my code? I want to be able to do something similar to a chat client between 2 images where none of those 2 images acts as a server. So data can originate from any of those 2 images and both images have to "listen" to each other. Besides, both images would have to transmit/receive on the same port.

1) Is this possible (the way I want to do/test it)?
2) How do I simulate something like this on a *single* machine running those 2 images?
3) Do I need to have one of those 2 images act as a "server" ?
4) Any helpful tip and/or interesting link to propose?

5) Can you think of any simple code or example I could look at to understand what I need to do?
