About

A command-line tool used to simulate popular techniques in the field of Data Communication.

Usage

usage: dc-sim [-h] [-V] {crc,hamming,stopwait} ...

Simulate data communication techniques.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

utilities:
  {crc,hamming,stopwait}
    crc                 Simulate the CRC error detection technique.
    hamming             Calculate the Hamming Distance between two codewords.
    stopwait            Simulate the Stop and Wait protocol.

Examples

• Simulate CRC:

dc-sim crc --dataword 100100 --generator 1101 --bitinvert

• Calculate Hamming Distance:

dc-sim hamming --codeword 1001 1110

• Simulate Stop and Wait:

Start the receiver:

dc-sim stopwait --mode receiver

Then, start the sender in another terminal instance:

dc-sim stopwait --mode sender --packets 10

Dependencies

• Python >=3.7
• argparse
