I am designing a viewer that communicates via the network some actions, 
like playback, scrubbing, etc.
I decided to code it with boost::asio, but I am too unfamiliar with it 
and the examples did not help much.
What I need is the following:

- server starts a group
- one client connects to server
- server and client do several handshake transmissions to sync (same 
movie file, etc).
- client or server perform a playback or a seek to certain frame and the 
other (client or server) follows.

Can someone suggest what should I use and what steps to take in draft 
form? Currently I have two threads one for the server and one for the 
client but lack knowledge of the asio api on how to perform a handshake 
(a send/receive pair, basically).
