This is way too vague. The answer is: read literature on systems, networking, threading, tiers, architecture and a lot more. Do you want some of us to write a book on all those topics specially for you? Is would hardly be realistic. If you are a beginner, you have establish some well-defined and pretty moderate goal for you and try to design and create such system. Then your question, much more bounded in scope, could really help.

As a simple approach, your clients could send messages containing either the actual data (the payload) and additional information, useful to deliver correctly the message itself (see, for instance the "payload" Wikipedia page[^]). Based on such additional information the server could dispatch the messages to the destination clients.
