Description

– requirements.txt: requirements to install to run the python programs
– tcpserver.py: TCP server file
– udpserver.py: UDP server file
– tcpclient.py: TCP client file to test for multiple clients (optional file)
– udpclient.py: UDP client file to test for multiple clients (optional file)

2. Test environment

These programs were tested on two environments. The first was WSL on Windows using
Python 3.8.5. The second environment was Ubuntu 20.04 using Python 3.8.5

3. Installing requirements

Type the below command in the terminal: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Running TCP server

To run the TCP server file, type the command in the terminal:
python3 tcpserver.py

5. Running UDP server

To run the UDP server file, type the command in the terminal: python3 udpserver.py

6. Running TCP client to test multiple clients

To test multiple clients for the TCP server, run the TCP server file as written above in (4).
Then, in a separate terminal type the below command in the terminal:
python3 tcpclient.py –clients [max-clients] –conns [maxconnections]

where [max-clients] is a number that reflects maximum number of clients you want to run and [max-connections] is the maximum number of connections per client that you want to run.

7. Running UDP client to test multiple clients

To test multiple clients for the UDP server, run the UDP server file as written above in (5). Then, in a separate terminal type the below command in the terminal:
python3 udpclient.py –clients [max-clients] –conns [maxconnections]

where [max-clients] is a number that reflects maximum number of clients you want to run and [max-connections] is the maximum number of connections per client that you want to run.
