MC833 Hands on Network

This repository is dedicated to learning and exploring UDP and TCP network sockets for MC833 - Network Lab classes. Here we have implemented a simple crud interface in C with creating, deleting, searching, and updating users in a mocked database.

How to run

1 - Clone this repository on one or more computers connected to the same network or with a public IP address.

git clone https://github.com/Joao-Pedro-MB/MC833-Hands-On-Network.git

2 - Go to the socket folder you want and build the code: 2.1 - For UDP sockets:

cd socket-udp
sh scripts/build.sh

2.2 - For TCP sockets:

cd socket-tcp
sh scripts/build.sh

3 - Run the server: Open a terminal and run:

sh scripts/run-server.sh

4 - Run the client: Now in a different terminal run (or a different computer):

sh scripts/run-client.sh IP of the server

if no IP is provided, the client will try to connect to localhost. If you are running server and client in the same computer, you can and are encouraged to run the client without any arguments. The PORT always will be 3490, if you want another PORT change the PORT definition in all the .h files.

5 - All set: Now you are good to go! You can use the client to create, delete, search, and update users in the database.
