Design and Implementation of an Online Chat System
Design and Implementation of an Online Chat System
ABSTRACT
Chatting system is very common communication tools that have been used in human in this modern cutting edge technology world.
This chatting system has become one of the important intermediate tools for everyone to share knowledge and materials via network.
So this Chatting, system for Computer Science Student OGITECH, The Environment is developed in order to enhance the communication among the students via network so that this will be easy for the discussions related to their studies.
This chatting system is developed by using peer-t-peer concept and multicast technique and also developed by using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology. This system is built by using PHP server scripting language.

INTRODUCTION
Chatting system is a peer-to-peer system where the users exchange text messages and files between the system’s users.
The user of the system is defined as client-server. Chatting system is a distributed programming which consist two distributed components, chat server and chat client.
Chat client supports for all communication including requesting chat server location information from a location server and display received chat messages.
Chat server will conduct chat session and manage all chat clients. Basically chat client starts the chat session by requesting the communication parameter (server name and port number).
