Sending Binary Data over Multi-Threaded Servers in C
We discuss how to create a thread-safe multi-threaded server in C, and I show how to send and receive binary data. I finish by looking at this traffic in wireshark.

Also note that Beej's guide explains an alternative way to handle multiple clients by forking processes in C:
