TCP based client-server applications with the proxy in the middle

Task

• Create simple TCP based client-server application.
• Create a proxy application (that is in the middle).
• Application logic:
  • Client sends data to Proxy.
  • Option1: Proxy just forwards it to the server.
  • Option2: Proxy does modifications in payload and resend them to server.

For Option2: Server must figure out that data has been changed in the middle (calculating packet checksum).
