In this video, you will see an alternative to the asynchronous handling done in the previous video.
If the socket is managed by a separate thread, it becomes possible to implement the protocol in a synchronous manner, which is much easier. For more details about event handling in a separate thread, and cross-thread communication with signals and slots, see my earlier video:    • Multithreading with Qt (Part 6) - Sig...  

The example shown here uses a local socket, but the code would be very similar if the two processes were on different machines, you would basically use QTcpServer and QTcpSocket instead of QLocalServer and QLocalSocket.
