Installation ⚙️

To get started, follow these steps to install the server on your machine.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Docker (optional, but recommended)
• Git

Clone the Repository

Open your terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/hari-vdh/Scalable-UDP-Server-for-Low-Latency-Data-Transmission.git
cd Scalable-UDP-Server-for-Low-Latency-Data-Transmission

Install Dependencies

Use pip to install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running with Docker

If you prefer to run the server using Docker, you can build and run the Docker image with:

docker build -t scalable-udp-server .
docker run -p 8080:8080 scalable-udp-server

---

Usage 📊

Once you have installed the server, you can start using it to transmit humidity data.

Starting the Server

To start the server, run the following command:

python server.py

The server will listen for incoming UDP packets on the specified port.

Sending Data

You can send data to the server using any UDP client. Here is a simple example using Python:

import socket

UDP_IP = "127.0.0.1"
UDP_PORT = 8080
MESSAGE = b"Humidity: 45%"

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))

Viewing Logs

Logs are saved in the logs directory. You can view the logs to monitor data transmission and server performance.

---

Configuration ⚙️

The server configuration is stored in a config.json file. You can modify the following settings:

• host: The IP address the server will listen on.
• port: The port number for incoming data.
• log_level: The level of logging (e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARNING).

Example config.json:

{
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  "port": 8080,
  "log_level": "INFO"
}

---

Testing 🧪

We provide a set of tests to ensure the server operates as expected. To run the tests, use the following command:

pytest tests/

You can add your own tests in the tests directory.
