This project simulates a distributed system using TCP/IP for communication between processes. Each process can send and receive messages to/from other processes with a specified delay.
The project consists of a single Go file that contains all the necessary functions to simulate a simple network system. The system configuration is read from a text file.
The system configuration is specified in a text file named config.txt. The first line of this file specifies the minimum and maximum delay for sending messages (in milliseconds). Each subsequent line represents a process in the system, with the format: ID IP Port.
Here's an example configuration:
100 200
1 127.0.0.1 8001
2 127.0.0.1 8002
3 127.0.0.1 8003
4 127.0.0.1 8004
This configuration specifies a system with 4 processes. The minimum delay for sending messages is 100 milliseconds, and the maximum delay is 200 milliseconds. The processes have IDs 1 through 4, and they all run on the local machine (127.0.0.1), with ports 8001 through 8004.
To run the simulation, simply execute the Go file:
go run mp1.go
send [destinationID] [message]
send 2 Hello, world!
