according to preview article 【并发服务器系列】3 epoll模型
I use tcpdump to analyze how tcp build up a connection, send a message ,and close the connection. (code are available in the preview article.)
client(172.18.70.159) use a random port 49538 to connection server(172.18.70.149:54321)
now I print out the client's captured:
1 sudo tcpdump port 54321
3 listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

line 6,7,8(first 3 lines) is how the connection build (called three handshakes).

line 9,10,11 (middle 3 lines ) is how message send.
line 12,13,14,15 (last 4 lines) is how conncetion close.(called four handshakes)
here is server's capture:

what does S . P F mean ?
S SYN ---- sys number
F FIN ---- finished sending message
P PSH --- send message to app
R RST --- connection RST
. --- all above set 0
analyse:
three handshakes to build up a connection
- client(172.18.70.159) send a SYN to server(172.18.70.149)'s port(54321)
- server send another SYN to client , in the same time use ack+1 to confirm the client's SYN
- client confirm back server SYN with ack+1
four handshakes to close a connection
- server send to client a FIN
- client confirm back server SYN with ack+1
- client send to server a FIN
- server confirm back client SYN with ack+1
from line 11 we can see server send the FIN to client (code:close(events[n].data.fd); //chat_server.cpp)
chat client start 172.18. 70.149
write finished msg: hello, this is client
iwrite = 33
----> receive msg_content: Hi this is server
ireadback = 29
message send and receive:
- length 33 was sent by client ( a message struct with content: hello, this is client) --- first of middle 3 lines
- a confim in the middle
- length 29 was received from server to ( a message struct with content: Hi thi is server) --- last of middle 3 lines
