TCP Server Tomcat

Given the ever-growing and fast changing technologies and the plethora of applications, designing proper TCP clients is a challenging task. TCP Server Tomcat is a lightweight piece of software that is designed to help you analyze the TCP sockets to determine whether they are working optimally based on the logs generated.

Since this is a portable utility, the setup is a quick and straightforward process that entails decompressing the archive in any desired location on your hard drive. Upon launch, you are welcomed by an intuitive GUI that is unlikely to give you any troubles.

The UI is comprised of four smaller panels, one for each of the TCP listeners you can use to test the TCP clients. You will be happy to learn that the utility automatically reads the IP address of the client based on the NIC source you select. The app also provides you with information about the status, result, bytes received and errors detected.

Functionality-wise, the program is as simple to use as it looks. You can test one or more listeners by specifying a few details, such as the NIC source, port, file size, destination folder and then hit the Start button. You should know that you can use all four listeners at the same time and with the same port.

In spite of the fact that you can run multiple TCP sessions from the same IP address multiple times, the reports are generated with separate file names that are unique per server and session. As a side note, because the logs consist of TCP datagrams, combining them into a single file can produce the complete original transferred data.

All things considered, TCP Server Tomcat is a utility that addresses developers or IT professionals who need to collect more data so they can properly test a client and observe its behavior.
