I am working with vlan, I have to write a server which used vlan interface to accept the packet?

Hints about working with VLAN? I have to write a client-server program, where the client will send a packet through eth0 and the server will receive the packet on VLAN, and to send it to a concerned VLAN client should parse on which command line VLAN will receive it?

Usually there is nothing to do in the application to work with a VLAN. The VLAN is realized using a virtual network interface with its own IP address. From the perspective of the application this is not different from a real network interface with own IP address. The OS will take care about routing and encapsulation of packets and there is nothing to do from the application itself.
