How to make a server reply after receiving a request/data

/* get socket to receive responses */
sd = socket( ... );

do
{
    /* set receive timeout */
    timeout.tv_sec = 5;     

    /* broadcast request */
    sendto( ... );

    /* wait for responses (or timeout) */
    while(select(sd+1, &readfds, NULL, NULL, &timeout) > 0)
    {
        /* receive the response */
        recvfrom( ... );

        /* process the response (or queue for another thread / later processing) */
        ...

        /* reset receive timeout */
        timeout.tv_sec = 5; 
    }

    /* process any response queued for later (and not another thread) */

} while (necessary);
