in my program so far, multiple threads (255 threads in total) spawned

wait for the threads to terminate. it's fully working however the
problem is that it's too slow. it takes approx. 14 seconds to process
(i tried using 'ping' but it's even slower.).
Do you have control over the server program?
Use UPD to broadcast a message, and make the server answer on that.
Or google for ZeroConf, UPnP or other techniques used for service discovery.
