Now that we have tested out Sockets and threads, we need to combine the two to make a concurrent server . A concurrent sever can handle more than one client at a time. It works like the old time phone operators. It gets a connecting client call, then it creates a thread to handle that call, and then goes back to listen for the next caller.

Concurrent Sever example

Client 3

Server 3

Run server and then start two instances of the client3. You should see in the server console that it is handling both users concurrently, hence a concurrent server.
