udp and echo

CS 2470 Lab 3 Important Instructions: • Please submit your homework assignment as 2 Python files on Canvas. The Canvas submission window will accept no other document formats. • Your socket program should follow good coding practices, i.e., use explanatory comments, and proper indentation and spacing. • Your socket program should use no other libraries except the socket library discussed in class. • For full credit, your socket program should be fully executable. • Discussions with your classmates are permitted (and encouraged!). However, your submitted work must entirely be your own. Any acts of cheating or plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment. • Please show your work and/or elaborate on your thought process for partial credit! 1. UDP Echo Application A UDP Echo program is a simple network application that demonstrates the basic principles of UDP communication. In this program, a server listens for incoming UDP packets from clients, and when it receives a packet, it echoes (sends back) the same packet to the client. The client sends a message to the server, and the server returns the same message. It’s often used for testing network connectivity and understanding the fundamentals of UDP communication. Please implement both the server and client components of this UDP Echo program while adhering to the features outlined below. Please ensure that your implementation follows good coding practices and provides clear prompts and feedback to the user, making it user-friendly and robust. Please refer to the class example to guide your implementation. 1. UDP Echo Server 1. Receiving and Displaying Messages: The UDP Echo server should be able to receive messages sent by clients. For each received message, it should display the address from which the message was received and the content of the message. 2. Echoing Messages Back: After receiving a message, the server should echo it back to the client who sent it. It should print the message that was sent and the address to which it was sent. 2. UDP Echo Client 1. User Input: The UDP Echo client should interact with the user. It should ask the user to input a message that they want to send to the server and specify the number of times they want to send this message. 2. Sending Messages: Using a Python loop, the client should send the user-specified message the specified number of times to the server’s IP address and port.
