Hi there,
I am a newbie in C++, I'm asked to run TCP which uses UDP packets while sending a message. Could anyone help me with writing the code in c++?

This is a forum for quick answers to questions. We can help you solve specific problems, but we will not write the code for you.
Have you tried researching the topic using a Google search[^] or the Codeproject articles[^] on the subject?

Okay.. thanks man

This is not a 5-minute job, but more like a real project. I would start by reading the RFPs on TCP and google for other implementations of TCP. After understanding the various concepts and problems, I would start writing a first version.

As Chill60 pointed out, this is a quick answer forum. Talk to your tutor or teacher, he is the one who can most likely help you.

Thanks NV3.. unfortunately my tutor is out of the country and I don't have time.

Just for clarification: Did your tutor ask you to implement the TCP protocol based on an existing UDP implementation, or did he want you send some packets via TCP (which as he commented uses UDP internally to do the work)? The latter is a lot easier. Implementing the TCP protocol is no beginners task and I can't imagine you tutor wanting you to do that while is out of the country for a couple of days.

yes, as you said he asked about the second scenario, NV3! Any help or suggestion? Thanks.

That is a big task for a C-newbie. At first you must understand the networking architecture and second the coding. I would advise you, to study this article which will give you some insight to that topic.

But you better ask for some assistance of an experienced programmer, or you will spend a lot of time. It is definitly: NO JOB FOR A NEWBIE. ;-)
