Repository for the "Computer Networks" course (RCOM) pratical projects.
Project 1 - Data Connection Protocol
The first project goal was to implement a data connection protocol to transfer a file over an RS-232 serial port connection.
It's possible to emulate the physical serial connection between two computers using the socat command:
sudo socat -d -d PTY,link=/dev/ttyS10,mode=777 PTY,link=/dev/ttyS11,mode=777Then, in different terminals, use the emitter connected to the ttyS10 port and the receiver connected to port ttyS11.
Project 2 - Network Configuration
Project 2 goals were to implement an FTP download app and to configure a computer network.
The FTP download app has to connect to an FTP server and download a file. This app is also used to validate the proper configuration of the network.
