EE450 Socket Programming Project

Part1

Spring 2023

Due Date:


Friday, March 3, 2023 11:59PM

(Hard Deadline, Strictly Enforced)


OBJECTIVE


The objective of project is to familiarize you with UNIX socket programming. It is an individual

assignment and no collaborations are allowed. Any cheating will result in an automatic F in

the course (not just in the assignment). If you have any doubts/questions email the TA your

questions, come by TA’s office hours, or ask during the weekly discussion session. You can ask

TAs any question about the content of the project, but TAs have the right to reject your

request for debugging.

PROBLEM STATEMENT


In this part of the project, you will implement client-server socket programming using TCP. In a

Student Performance Analysis system of a university, a client (student) would like to ask the Main

server which Backend server that a department is associated with. A client sends a department

name to the Main server and the Main server will search in its database and reply to the client with

a Backend server ID.


Figure 1


The detailed operations to be performed by all the parties are described with the help of Figure 1.

There are in total 3 communication endpoints, which are run in 3 individual terminal windows:

● Client 1 and Client 2: represent two different users, send queries to main server

● Main server: store information, search, send responses to clients


You are highly encouraged to use Beej’s Guide to Network Programming to complete this

assignment. You can use code from Beej’s Guide as a starting point (remember to mention any

code you take directly from other sources like Beej’s Guide in the README and your comments).


The full process can be roughly divided into three phases, and their communication and

computation steps are as follows:


Client 1

Client 2

Main

server

TCP

TCP

Bootup

1. [Computation]: Main server read the file list.txt and store the information.

2. [Communication]: Main server process wait for client processes to connect.

3. [Computation]: Two clients run and ask the user to input a department name.


Query

1. [Communication]: Each client then establishes a TCP connection to the Main server and

sends their queries (the department name) to the Main server.

○ A client can terminate itself only after it receives a reply from the server (in the

Reply phase).

○ Main server may be connected to both clients at the same time.

2. [Computation]: Once the Main server receives the queries, it decodes the queries and

searches in the list with the received department name, obtaining the corresponding

Backend server ID.

Reply

1. [Communication]: Main server prepares a reply message and sends the result to the

appropriate client.

2. [Communication]: Clients receive the reply message from Main server and display it.

Clients should keep active for further inputted queries, until the program is manually killed

(Ctrl-C).


The format of list.txt is as follows.


,,


,



Example list.txt:


1

ECE,CS,Physics

2

Art,Cinema

3

Accounting,Business


Assumptions on the list.txt file:

1. Department names are letters. The length of a department name can vary from 1 letter to

at most 20 letters. It may contain both capital and lowercase letters but does not contain

any white spaces.

2. Backend server IDs are non-negative integer numbers.

3. There are at most 10 Backend server IDs in total.

4. There is no additional empty line(s) at the beginning or the end of the file. That is, the

whole list.txt do not contain any empty lines.

5. For simplicity, there is no overlap of department names among different Backend servers.

6. For a given Backend server, there may be repeated department names.

7. list.txt will not be empty.

8. A Backend server will store at least one department names, and at most 100 department

names.


An example list.txt is provided for you as a reference. Other list.txt will be used for grading, so

you are advised to prepare your own files for testing purposes.


Source Code Files


Your implementation should include the source code files described below:


1. servermain: You must name your code file: servermain.c or servermain.cc or

servermain.cpp (all small letters). Also, you must name the corresponding header file (if

you have one; it is not mandatory) servermain.h (all small letters).

2. client: The name for this piece of code must be client.c or client.cc or client.cpp (all small

letters) and the header file (if you have one; it is not mandatory) must be called client.h

(all small letters). There should be only one client file!!!


Note: Your compilation should generate separate executable files for each of the components listed

above.



DETAILED EXPLANATION


Phase 1 -- Bootup

Main server program first boots up in this phase.

./servermain


While booting up, the servers must display a boot up message on the terminal. The format of the

boot up message for Main server is given in the on-screen message table at the end of the document.

As the boot up message indicates, Main server must listen on the appropriate port for incoming

packets/connections.

As described in the previous section, the main server needs to read the text file and store the

information. There are many ways to store the information, such as dictionary, array, vector, etc.

You need to decide which format to use based on the requirement of the problem. You can use

any format if it can give you correct results.

Once the main server programs have booted up, two client programs run. Each client displays a

boot up message as indicated in the onscreen messages table. Note that the client code takes no

input argument from the command line. The format for running the client code is:

./client


After running it, it should display messages to ask the user to enter a query department name (e.g.,

implement using std::cin):

./client

Client is up and running.

Enter Department Name:


For example, if the client 1 is booted up and asks for Backend server ID for department ECE, then

the terminal displays like this:



./client

Client is up and running.

Enter Department Name: ECE


Main server has its unique port number specified in “PORT NUMBER ALLOCATION” section

with the source and destination IP address as localhost/127.0.0.1. Clients use dynamic ports.

Clients and Main server are required to print out on-screen messages after executing each action

as described in the “ON SCREEN MESSAGES” section. These messages will help with grading

if the process did not execute successfully. Missing some of the on-screen messages might result

in misinterpretation that your process failed to complete. Please follow the exact format when

printing the on-screen messages.


Phase 2 -- Query


After booting up, Clients establish TCP connections with Main server. After successfully

establishing the connection, Clients send the input department name to Main server. Once this is

sent, Clients should print a message in a specific format. Repeat the same steps for Client 2.


Main server then receives requests from two Clients. If the department name is not found, the Main

server will print out a message (see the “On Screen Messages” section) and return to standby.

For a server to receive requests from several clients at the same time, the function fork() should

be used for the creation of a new process. fork() function is used for creating a new process, which

is called child process, which runs concurrently with the process that makes the fork() call (parent

process).

For a TCP server, when an application is listening for stream-oriented connections from other hosts,

it is notified of such events and must initialize the connection using accept(). After the connection

with the client is successfully established, the accept() function returns a non-zero descriptor for a

socket called the child socket. The server can then fork off a process using fork() function to

handle connection on the new socket and go back to wait on the original socket. Note that the

socket that was originally created, that is the parent socket, is going to be used only to listen to the

client requests, and it is not going to be used for computation or communication between client

and Main server. Child sockets that are created for a parent socket have the identical well-known

port number and IP address at the server side, but each child socket is created for a specific client.

Through using the child socket with the help of fork(), the server can handle the two clients without

closing any one of the connections.

Once the Main server receives the queries, it decodes the queries and searches in the list with the

received department name, finding the corresponding backend server ID.


Phase 3 -- Reply


At the end of Phase 2, the Main server should have the result ready. The result is the Backend

server ID that the department is associated with. The result should be sent back to the

corresponding client using TCP. The client will print out the backend server ID and then print out

the messages for a new request as follows:



...


Department ECE is associated with backend server 1.


-----Start a new query-----

Enter Department Name:




See the ON SCREEN MESSAGES table for an example output table.



PORT NUMBER ALLOCATION


The ports to be used by the client and the servers are specified in the following table:


Table 1. Static and Dynamic assignments for TCP ports


Process Dynamic Ports Static Ports

Main Server TCP(with client): 33xxx

Client 1 TCP

Client 2 TCP


NOTE: xxx is the last 3 digits of your USC ID. For example, if the last 3 digits of your USC ID

are “319”, you should use the port: 33319 for the Main Server, etc. Port number of all processes

print port number of their own.


Table 2. Main Server on-screen messages


Event On-screen Messages

Booting up (only while starting): Main server is up and running.

Upon reading the department lists: Main server has read the department list from list.txt.

Print the counting results of which

department a backend server is

responsible for:


(Repeated departments should

be counted only once!)




Total number of Backend Servers:

Backend Servers contains distinct

departments

Backend Servers contains distinct

departments

For example:

Total num of Backend Servers: 3

Backend Servers 1 contains 3 distinct departments

Backend Servers 2 contains 5 distinct departments

Backend Servers 3 contains 8 distinct departments


Upon receiving the input from the

client:

Main server has received the request on Department

from client using TCP

over port


If the input department name

could not be found, send the error

message to the client:

does not show up in backend server

< Backend Server ID 1, Backend Server ID 2, …>


(Print all backend server IDs!)

The Main Server has sent “Department Name: Not found”

to client using TCP over port

If the input department name

could be found, decide which

backend server contains related

information about the input

department name:

Backend Server ID>

Main Server has sent searching result to client

using TCP over port





Table 3. Client 1 or Client 2 on-screen messages


Event On-screen Messages

Booting up(only while starting) Client is up and running.

Enter Department Name:

After sending Department name to

Main Server:

Client has sent Department to Main

Server using TCP.

If input Department cannot be

found:

not found.

If input Department can be found: Client has received results from Main Server:

is associated with backend server

.

After the last query ends: -----Start a new query-----

Enter Department Name:





ASSUMPTIONS


1. You must start the processes in this order: Main-server, Client 1, and Client 2.


2. list.txt is created before your program starts.


3. If you need to have more code files than the ones that are mentioned here, please use

meaningful names and all small letters and mention them all in your README file.


4. You can use code snippets from Beej’s guide to network programming in your project.

However, you need to mark the copied part in your code and mention in README.


5. When you run your code, if you get the message “port already in use” or “address already

in use”, please first check to see if you have a zombie process (see following). If you do not

have such zombie processes or if you still get this message after terminating all zombie

processes, try changing the static TCP port number corresponding to this error message (all

port numbers below 1024 are reserved and must not be used). If you must change the port

number, please do mention it in your README file and provide reasons for it.


6. You may create zombie processes while testing your codes, please make sure you kill them

every time you want to run your code. To see a list of all zombie processes, try this command:

ps -aux | grep developer


Identify the zombie processes and their process number and kill them by typing at the

command-line:

kill -9




REQUIREMENTS


1. Do not hardcode the TCP port numbers that are to be obtained dynamically. Refer to

Table 1 to see which ports are statically defined and which ones are dynamically assigned. Use

getsockname() function to retrieve the locally bound port number wherever ports are assigned

dynamically as shown below:


/*Retrieve the locally-bound name of the specified socket and store it

in the sockaddr structure*/

getsock_check=getsockname(TCP_Connect_Sock,(struct sockaddr *)&my_addr,

(socklen_t *)&addrlen);

//Error checking

if (getsock_check== -1) { perror("getsockname"); exit(1);

}


2. The host name must be hard coded as localhost (127.0.0.1) in all codes.


3. Your client should keep running and ask to enter a new request after displaying the previous

result, until the TAs manually terminate it by Ctrl+C. The backend servers and the Main server

should keep running and be waiting for another request until the TAs terminate them by Ctrl+C.

If they terminate before that, you will lose some points for it.


4. All the naming conventions and the on-screen messages must conform to the previously

mentioned rules.


5. You are not allowed to pass any parameter or value or string or character as a command-

line argument.


6. All the on-screen messages must conform exactly to the project description. You should

not add anymore on-screen messages. If you need to do so for the debugging purposes, you

must comment out all the extra messages before you submit your project.


7. Using fork() to create a child process when a new TCP connection is accepted is mandatory

and everyone should support it. This is useful when different clients are trying to connect to

the same server simultaneously.


8. Please do remember to close the socket and tear down the connection once you are done

using that socket.


Programming Platform and Environment


1. All your submitted code MUST work well on the provided virtual machine Ubuntu.


2. All submissions will only be graded on the provided Ubuntu. TA won’t make any updates

or changes to the virtual machine. It’s your responsibility to make sure your code works well

on the provided Ubuntu. “It works well on my machine” is not an excuse and we don’t care.


3. Your submission MUST have a Makefile. Please follow the requirements in the following

“Submission Rules” section.


Programming Languages and Compilers


You must use only C/C++ on UNIX as well as UNIX Socket programming commands and

functions. Here are the pointers for Beej's Guide to C Programming and Network Programming

(socket programming):


http://www.beej.us/guide/bgnet/


(If you are new to socket programming please do study this tutorial carefully as soon as possible

and before starting the project)


http://www.beej.us/guide/bgc/


You can use a Unix text editor like emacs or gedit to type your code and then use compilers such

as g++ (for C++) and gcc (for C) that are already installed on Ubuntu to compile your code. You

must use the following commands and switches to compile yourfile.c or yourfile.cpp. It will make

an executable by the name of "yourfileoutput”.

gcc -o yourfileoutput yourfile.c

g++ -o yourfileoutput yourfile.cpp


Do NOT forget the mandatory naming conventions mentioned before!


Also, inside your code you may need to include these header files in addition to any other header

file you used:

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include



Submission Rules


Along with your code files, include a README file and a Makefile. Submissions without

README and Makefile will be subject to a serious penalty.


In the README file write:

● Your Full Name as given in the class list.

● Your Student ID.

● Your platform (Ubuntu version).

● What you have done in the assignment.

● What your code files are and what each one of them does. (Please do not repeat the

project description, just name your code files, and briefly mention what they do).

● The format of all the messages exchanged.

● Any idiosyncrasy of your project. It should say under what conditions the project

fails, if any.

● Reused Code: Did you use code from anywhere for your project? If not, say so. If

so, say what functions and where they're from. (Also identify this with a comment in

the source code.)


About the Makefile:

Makefile Tutorial: https://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~newhall/unixhelp/howto_makefiles.html


Makefile should support following functions:


Compile all your files and creates executables make all

Compile Main Server make servermain

Compile Client make client

Run Main Server ./servermain

Run client 1 ./client

Run client 2 ./client



TA will first compile all codes using make all. TA will then open 3 different terminal windows.

On one terminal, start Main Server using commands ./servermain. Remember that main server

should always be on once started. On the other two terminals, start the client as ./client. TA will

check the outputs for multiple queries. The terminals should display the messages specified above.



Please follow these rules to submit your assignment:


1. Compress all your files including the README file into a single “tar ball” and call it:

ee450_yourUSCusername.tar.gz (all small letters) e.g. your filename may be

ee450_nanantha.tar.gz. Please make sure that your name matches the one in the class list.

Here are the instructions:


On your VM, go to the directory which has all your project files. Remove all executable

and other unnecessary files. Only include the required source code files, Makefile and the

README file. Now run the following commands:


tar cvf ee450_yourUSCusername.tar *

gzip ee450_yourUSCusername.tar


Now, you will find a file named “ee450_yourUSCusername.tar.gz” in the same directory.

Please notice there is a star (*) at the end of the first command.


2. Do NOT include anything not required in your tar.gz file, for example data file list.txt. Do

NOT use subfolders. Any compressed format other than .tar.gz will NOT be graded!


3. Upload “ee450_yourUSCusername.tar.gz” to Blackboard -> Assignments. After the file is

submitted, you must click on the “submit” button to actually submit it. If you do not click

on “submit”, the file will not be submitted.


4. Blackboard will keep a history of all your submissions. If you make multiple submissions,

we will grade your latest valid submission. Submission after the deadline is considered as

invalid.


5. Please consider all kinds of possible technical issues and do expect a huge traffic on the

Blackboard website very close to the deadline which may render your submission or even

access to Blackboard unsuccessful.


6. Please DO NOT wait till the last 5 minutes to upload and submit because some technical

issues might happen, and you will miss the deadline. And a kind suggestion, if you still get

some bugs one hour before the deadline, please make a submission first to make sure you

will get some points for your hard work!


7. After submitting, please confirm your submission by downloading and compiling it on

your machine. If the outcome is not what you expected, try to resubmit, and confirm again.

We will only grade what you submitted even though it’s corrupted.


8. You have sufficient time to work on this project and submit it in time hence there is

absolutely zero tolerance for late submissions! Do NOT assume that there will be a late

submission penalty or a grace period. If you submit your project late (no matter for what

reason or excuse or even technical issues), you simply receive a zero for the project.


GRADING CRITERIA


Notice: We will only grade what is already done by the program instead of what will be done.

For example, the TCP connection is established, and data is sent to the Main Server. But the result

is not received by the Main server (no on-screen message) because Main server got some errors.

Then you will lose some points for phase 1 even though it might work well.


Your project grade will depend on the following:


1. Correct functionality, i.e. how well your programs fulfill the requirements of the

assignment, especially the communications through TCP sockets.


2. Inline comments in your code. This is important as this will help in understanding what

you have done.


3. Whether your programs work as you say they would in the README file.


4. Whether your programs print out the appropriate error messages and results.


5. If your submitted codes do not even compile, you will receive 10 out of 100 for the project.


6. If your submitted codes compile using make but when executed, produce runtime errors

without performing any tasks of the project, you will receive 15 out of 100.


7. If you forget to include the README file or Makefile in the project tar-ball that you

submitted, you will lose 15 points for each missing file (plus you need to send the file to

the TA in order for your project to be graded.)


8. If you add subfolders or compress files in the wrong way, you will lose 2 points each.


9. If your data file path is not the same as the code files, you will lose 5 points.


10. Do not submit datafile (three .txt files) used for test, otherwise, you will lose 10 points.


11. If your code does not correctly assign the TCP port numbers (in any phase), you will lose

10 points each.


12. Detailed points assignments for each functionality will be posted after finishing grading.


13. The minimum grade for an on-time submitted project is 10 out of 100, the submission

includes a working Makefile and a README.

14. There are no points for the effort or the time you spend working on the project or reading

the tutorial. If you spend plenty of time on this project and it doesn’t even compile, you

will receive only 10 out of 100.


15. Your code will not be altered in any way for grading purposes and however it will be tested

with different inputs. Your designated TA runs your project as is, according to the project

description and your README file and then checks whether it works correctly or not. If

your README is not consistent with the project description, we will follow the project

description.


FINAL WORDS


1. Start on this project early. Hard deadline is strictly enforced. No grace periods. No grace

days. No exceptions.


2. In view of what is a recurring complaint near the end of a project, we want to make it clear

that the target platform on which the project is supposed to run is the provided Ubuntu

(16.04/22.04). It is strongly recommended that students develop their code on this virtual

machine. In case students wish to develop their programs on their personal machines,

possibly running other operating systems, they are expected to deal with technical and

incompatibility issues (on their own) to ensure that the final project compiles and runs on

the requested virtual machine. If you do development on your own machine, please leave

at least three days to make it work on Ubuntu. It might take much longer than you expect

because of some incompatibility issues.


3. Check Blackboard (Discussion Board & Announcement) regularly for additional

requirements and latest updates about the project guidelines. Any project changes

announced on Blackboard are final and overwrites the respective description mentioned in

this document.


4. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in an “F” in the course.
