Instructions to Run 🏃

TCP Client and Server

• To run the client, run python3 tcp_client.py in the Client folder. It will ask for a number corresponding to which will be the book to download.
• To run the server, run python3 tcp_server.py in the Server folder.
• After the input is received, it will connect to the server and download the respective book in the "Client" folder.
• The buffer size in the client and server can be set by changing the value corresponding to variable "BUFFER_SIZE" in "tcp_client.py" and "tcp_server.py" files.
• To disable Nagle's Algorithm and Delayed Ack, comments are provided in the respective programs.
• The client displays the calculated throughput and download time after download.

UDP Client and Server

• To run the client, run python3 udp_client.py in the Client folder. It will ask for a number corresponding to which will be the book to download.
• To run the server, run python3 udp_server.py in the Server folder.
• After the input is received, it will download the respective book in the "Client" folder.
• The buffer size in the client and server can be set by changing the value corresponding to variable "BUFFER_SIZE" in "udp_client.py" and "udp_server.py" files.
• The client displays the calculated throughput and download time after download.
