Hello

Here the program echos the same messages which was sent by the client to the the same client. I want to interchange the data between clients. for example if two clients are client0, client1. what ever client 1 sends should be echoed to client 0 and similarly what ever client 0 sends should be echoed to client 1. Thank you.
