Comment

Is it true that in TCP/IP one partner is always a server and the other always a client? The only way I can see this being the case is that one machine must listen for a connection while the other initiates the communication - however once a TCP channel is up there's no client/server distinction inherent in the protocol. I'd suggest that this page only gets to make such a statement if AAPC *doesn't* work like that - ie if it doesn't have the notion of listening for a connection. However, I can't conceive of any other mechanism for doing networking. 195.212.29.83 (talk) 12:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
