014.02.14.1.Can you explain the typical architecture of network servers in terms of process management, particularly how they handle incoming connections using the fork() system call and the role of worker processes?
Network servers operate as multiple processes. One process listens on a network port, and upon recieving a new incoming connection, the listening process uses fork to create a child process, which then is responsible for the new connection. The child process is also called as the worker process which terminates when the connection is closed. The original listening process continues to listen on the network port. The listening process handles all the incoming connections.
