使用UDP模拟网络通信协议中的STOP and WAIT协议。
Assessment Background/Scenario
For devices to communicate on a WAN or distributed system, protocols need to be established. The OSI and TCP architectures and suites of protocols enable all devices to communicate with each other using a variety of protocols and services. TCP and UDP are the two packet types used on an 802.x network.
Given this, the aim is to create a simple client server system to demonstrate (via output statements): the communications between the client and server and the actions within each. Your system should include the following functionality:
Functional Requirements
- Your program must set and close sessions of communication
- Write a simple STOP and WAIT protocol for UDP
- In the packet, the byte payload will include both the original data and a sequence number for the packet (SN=x)
- The data in the file to be sent between the client/server should contain the string ‘umbrella’
- You need to identify and include UDP ports for the communication endpoints
- Your client must take an IP address or Hostname and port number as arguments
- The port number is the port number the server must listen on
- The sender must read the line of data from the file and combine that text with the sequence number and send the packet to the receiver.
Outputs
Your system should output to the command console clear statements to demonstrate the interactions and functionality.
Non-Functional Requirements
Your code must be commented throughout
Best practice should also be applied to your code.
Technical Requirements
The application is built using Java (Liberica JDK 11)
The application runs from the Command Console
Assessment Tasks
Task 1 - Programme
Given the scenario above, you are going to design and code a program to communicate between two devices - a client and a server (sender and receiver) over UDP.
- Write the code that will act as the sender (client) and another program to act as the receiver (server) - these will send over UDP to communicate.
- You must write the code to perform a STOP and WAIT - this will be a sliding window size = 1.
- Once this runs, you are going to expand on your program to increase the sliding window to size=5 and use GO-BACK-N for retransmission
- Your program should have a sequence number = SN and the data should be part of the data packet.
- The server, upon receipt, should examine the SN and if it matches the SN it is expecting, print the data to the screen or file and transmit ACK back to the sender, remembering that the sliding window is size=5.
Task 2 - Report
As part of a structured report, briefly discuss the programme you have produced, making sure you include the following:
- An overview of your solution - a discussion of how your design and the selected constructs support the functional requirements.
- An overview of the program design, and how the main components support client and server interactions and communications.
- Briefly discuss the suitability of Java for demonstrating port and socket communications over UDP.
As a guideline, you should use around 500 words of your 2000-word limit for this section.
