IPC in AF_UNIX sockets

[Innovator]

how does client and server communicate with each other through IPC
I want to know how the buffer send from the client reaches to the server through sendto function..and vice versa .. How does a process know that t has to send the data to that particular process only. How IPC relates two processes??

You want a lesson on basic TCP/IP socket programming and processes? This is not a 100 word discussion! There are a multitude of books and articles that will help you understand this stuff - try Google searches and start reading! I used to teach a 5 week class to AT&T technicians to help them understand exactly this sort of question about data networks with TCP/IP. If they need 5 weeks to get the basics, you expect a 100 word answer here?

And in case you are interested, I was paid $500USD per day + expenses to teach these classes! And the classes were 3-4 hours per night, not a full day.
