Udp broadcast programming project - oredri269 - Oct-23-2018
hello,
i got a project to create a UDP broadcast programming -
create a system that sends a broadcast of a message alert to all the systems that are on the network.
Each station that receives the message must transmit it to other stations on the networks it is connected to spread the message.
i created the client.py and the server.py , but i don't know how to make the station transmit the message alert.
its the first time i am creating a project in networking programming in python.
##client
import socket, time
SERVER_ADDRES = "127.0.0.1"
SERVER_PORT = 10000
#connect to server
client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) # UDP
address = (SERVER_ADDRES,SERVER_PORT)
client.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
client.bind(("", 37020))
while True:
data, address= client.recvfrom(1024)
print(data)
client.sendto(data, ('<broadcast>', 12345))
break##server
import socket
import time
SERVER_ADDRESS = "localhost"
SERVER_PORT = 10000
# create a socket
server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
server.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
server.settimeout(0.2)
address = (SERVER_ADDRESS,SERVER_PORT)
print(f"server {SERVER_ADDRESS} at port {SERVER_PORT}")
server.bind(("",44444))
message = b"Red Alert"
while True:
# broadcast
server.sendto(message, ('<broadcast>', 37020))
print("message sent!")
time.sleep(1)
break
