Sample project for network programming written in C / C ++

Question

Are there any good open source projects in P2P file sharing systems or distributed file systems written in C / C ++?

I need a project to start with network programming.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?

Answer 1

The asio acceleration examples on boost.org are really good to start with.

Answer 2

Rasterbar libtorrent probably for the unknown (google) . It is based on Boost, using Boost.Asio for all network code. This is the library used by Halite and many others (but not rTorrent, which used another library, also called libtorrent).

Answer 3

libTorrent libTorrent - written in C ++ using Boost extensively (and asio mentioned by Mykola). If you want to take a look at the client application using libTorrent , then there is rTorrent, and for libTorrent, for example Halite (also using Boost).

EDIT: Thanks to Daniel Wallin for noticing a mix of different libTorrents.

Answer 4

I think it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the concepts.
