ex_tcp_echo.c

This example program shows how to send and receive TCP data. This program acts as the server, and listens for any data entering on TCP port 54123. If a TCP message is received, we read it and return data to the same socket (IP and port) that just sent us data. It implements a circular buffer for storing the received data.
