The goal of this project is to implement a simulation in which one monitoring device and multiple measurement devices interact and exchange data; each client has an id attributed by the monitor. The challenge is for the monitor to count the number of messages it receives.
This project uses standard Java socket programming to establish connections between clients and a server. On the application layer, a handshake based protocol has been put in place to make data-exchange between a client and the server possible and to facilitate smooth connection termination (thus avoiding brutal socket closure).
The interface gives control over the simulation in what concerns the number of active connections (cannot be bigger than numberOfThreads + 1) and the frequency at which the clients send messages to the server. It also displays the real-time message count (which does not change if there are no active connections).
