[Boost-users] Boost::Asio help for viewer

[Gonzalo Garramuno]

I am designing a viewer that communicates via the network some actions,
like playback, scrubbing, etc.
I decided to code it with boost::asio, but I am too unfamiliar with it
and the examples did not help much.
What I need is the following:

- server starts a group
- one client connects to server
- server and client do several handshake transmissions to sync (same
movie file, etc).
- client or server perform a playback or a seek to certain frame and the
other (client or server) follows.

Can someone suggest what should I use and what steps to take in draft
form? Currently I have two threads one for the server and one for the
client but lack knowledge of the asio api on how to perform a handshake
(a send/receive pair, basically).

I too am attempting to use ASIO for the first time. I found these two books to be helpful.

If you can get ahold of Michael Caisse boostcon presentation it's the best intro to the library I've seen.  It used to be here --

But I know there are copies about from people that listen on this list...
