TCP Multiplexing and Demultiplexing
In the scenario below, the left and right TCP clients communicate with a TCP server using TCP sockets. The Python code used to create a single welcoming socket in the server is shown in the figure (the welcoming socket itself is not shown graphically); code is also shown for the client sockets as well. The three sockets shown in server were created as a result of the server accepting connection requests on this welcoming socket from the two clients (one connection from the client on the left, and two connections from the client on the right).
