1 Introduction
This programming assignment is to implement a simple chat application with at least 3
clients and a server using UDP. You are required to create one program. The program
should have two modes of operation, one is the client and the other is the server. The
client instances communicate directly with each other. The server instance is used for
setting up the clients and for book-keeping purposes. The server is also used for storing
off-line messages from clients. The functionalities and specification of each program
are described in detail below. Please start early and read the entire assignment before
you start!!
2 Functionalities
The complete chat application can be broadly classified into four functions outlined
below. Each function involves either the client part or the server part or a combination
of the two. The four different functions and their respective parts in both the server and
the client are explained in the following sections. Note that although the program is
divided into separate functionalities, it is ok to test several processes (instances of
client and server) on the same machine (same IP, different ports) by SSHing into the
same machine a few times.
2.1 Registration
For this function, the server has to take in a registration or a subscription request from a
client. The server needs to be started before the client. The server maintains a table
with the IP addresses, port numbers, and nick-names of all the clients. This
functionality involves both client and server modes.
Client mode:
• The client has to communicate with the server using the IP address and the port
number of the server. [assume all clients by default know the server information]
$ UdpChat
example : UdpChat -c for client and UdpChat -s for server). The server mode takes one
argument, its listening port. The client mode should take four arguments: the client’s
nick-name, the server ip address, the server’s listening port number, and this client’s
port number for listening.
$ UdpChat -s
$ UdpChat -c
the server. The nick-name is like the username for this chat client. The server IP
address is given in dotted- decimal format. The port number is an integer value in the
range 1024-65535. For example, if the server IP is 198.123.75.45, the server port is 1024, the
client’s port number for listening is 2000 , then the command string is going to be:
$ UdpChat -c client-name 198.123.75.45 1024 2000. If arguments are taken in a proper format, a
prompt like ’>>>’ should be displayed. Otherwise, appropriate error messages should be
displayed.

• Successful registration of the client on the server should also display the status
message to the client: $>>> [Welcome, You are registered.]
• Every client should also maintain a local table with information about all the
other clients (nick-name, ip, port number, online-status). Every client should
update (overwrite) its local table when the server sends information about all the
other clients (further detail on this in upcoming section).
• When the table has been successfully updated, the client should display the
message : $ >>> [Client table updated.]
• Toexitorcloseaclientuse: $ >>> ctrl + c Assume a client does not return once exited.
Server mode:
• The server process should maintain a table to hold the nick-names, IP
addresses, and port numbers of all the clients.
•
Whenaclientsendsaregistrationrequest,itshouldaddtheclientinformation(na
me,IPaddress,portnumber, online-status) to the table.
• The server should broadcast the complete table of active clients to all the
online clients so that they may update their local information. This should
happen whenever the server updates its table.
2.2 Chatting
Once the clients are set up and registered with the server, the next step is
to implement the actual chat functionality. The clients should
communicate to each other directly and must not use the server for
forwarding chat messages. Since it does not involve the server, there is
just the client part for the chatting functionality.
Client:
• A client should communicate to another client with the information
from its local-table.
The client should support the following command for sending
messages
$ >>> send
dportnumber of the recipient client from its local table and send the
message to the appropriate client. (message length should be
variable)
• The client which sent the message has to wait for an ack and
likewise, the client which received the message has to send an ack
once it receives the message.
• If ack times out (500 msecs) for a message sent to a another client,
it means the client at the receiving end is off-line, and so the
message has to be sent to the server. The server has to save these
messages and show it later to the appropriate clients when they
come back online and re-register. (details in offline-chat section).
The appropriate status messages also needs to be displayed for
each scenario:
$ >>> [Message received by
• $ >>> [No ACK from
•
2.3 De-registering
This is a book-keeping function to keep track of the active clients.
This functionality involves both client and server parts.
Server:
2
• When the server receives a de-registration request from a client, it has to change
the respective client’s status to offline in the table (do not close or exit the client
to make it offline).
• It then has to broadcast the updated table to all the active (online) clients.
• The server then has to send an ack to the client which requested de-registration.
Client:
2.4
• •
•
•
When a client is about to go offline, it has to send a de-registration request to the server
to announce that it is going offline.
The client has to wait for an ack from the server within 500 msecs. If it does not
receive, the client should retry for 5 times. If it fails all five times the client should
display the message:
$>>> [Server not responding]
$>>> [Exiting]
and exit.
All the other active clients, when they receive the table from the server, should update
their respective local tables (just overwrite the existing table).
$ >>> dereg
registrationrequesttotheserverfromtheclienttogooffline.Wedon’t expect clients to log
back in with the same IP and port number after they have exited.
Successful de-registration from the server should display the following status message
in the client:
$ >>> [You are Offline. Bye.]
Off-line Chat
The last functionality of the chat-application is to implement an off-line chat. This is
similar to the feature in google-chat. When the user is off-line, the server records the
chat messages the user receives from other clients and provides it later when the user
comes back online . In a similar fashion, when a client quits the chat session, the server
should save the off-line chat messages. This also has both client and server parts.
Client:
A client sends off-line messages in two cases:
• When the recipient or end-client is offline in its local-table of clients.
• When there is a time-out on a message sent to a client.
In both the above given cases the client has to send an automatic save-message request
to the server. This request should also include the
• Nick-name of the intended recipient
• Message
On success, the following status message should be displayed in the client:
$ >>> [Messages received by the server and saved]
A logged-out client should be able to log back in using :
$ >>> reg
associated client’s status to online in the table).
Server:
3
• When the server receives an offline-message, it has to save it separately for
different clients. (For example, you can use files for each client and save all off-
line messages for a client in its appropriate file).
• When a server receives a save-message request from a client it has to check for
the status of the intended recipient.
• If the recipient client is still active, then send the client which sent the save-
message request an err message : $ >>> [Client
and also send the table to the client for it to get updated.
• If the recipient client is not active, then the server should change the status of the
appropriate client to offline, broadcast the updated table to all active clients and
save the messages in the files associated.
• The messages while saved should also have their associated time-stamp
information. (You can get this using gettimeofday()).
• An ack also needs to be sent to the client which made a save-message request.
When a logged out client returns :
• The server needs to check for any off-line messages for that client :
– If yes
∗ Send all the off-line messages to the client
∗ Clear them in the server
∗ Change the status of the client to online
∗ broadcast the table to all the online clients.
– If no
∗ Change the client’s status to online ∗ broadcast the table to all the clients.
• Clearing the messages in the server makes sure that the server does not send the
same off-line messages re- peatedly. This status message should also be
displayed in the client before the offline messages are displayed: $ >>> [You have
messages]
For example:
Assume :
• There are three clients
• Client 1 goes offline
• The other two clients send messages to client 1
The off-line messages in the server for client 1 should be saved as
>>> client 2: Hi!
• >>> client 3: Hello!!
•
When client 1 returns (log back in) this should be printed in client 1
Client 1 :
>>> You Have Messages
• >>> client 2:
• >>> client 3:
•

3 Testing
Before submitting your work, please do test your programs thoroughly. Your chat
application should at least
work with
• One instance of the program in server mode.
• Three instances of the program in client mode.
To start-off with you can assume fixed sizes for the client table and extend your
implementation to handle dynamic length if you have time, however full points will be
awarded only if you handle dynamic lengths. You must handle business-logic errors
such as a user trying to login with an already connected nick-name.
Two simple example test cases have been provided for you. You should also test your
program with your own test cases.
Test-case 1:
1. start server
2. start client x(the table should be sent from server to x)
3. start client y(the table should be sent from server to x and y)
4. start client z(the table should be sent from server to x and y and z)
5. chat x -> y, y->z, … , x ->z (All combinations)
6. dereg x (the table should be sent to y, z. x should receive ’ack’)
7. chat y->x (this should fail and message should be sent to server, and message
has to be saved for x in the server)
8. chat z->x (same as above)
9. reg x (messages should be sent from server to x, x’s status has to be broadcasted
to all the other clients)
10. x, y, z:exit
Test-case 2:
1. start server
2. start client x (the table should be sent from server to x )
3. start client y(the table should be sent from server to x and y)
4. dereg y
5. server exit
6. send message x-> y (will fail with both y and server, so should make 5 attempts and
exit)
The figures below shows the registration process, de-registration process and offline
messaging involving two clients. To provide some more clarity!!!.

4 Submission Instructions
You may use either C, Java, or Python for developing the chat application. Your
submission package should include the following deliverables.
• README: Please put your name and UNI at the top of your README. The next
thing in your README should be explicit command line instructions for
compiling and running your program. The file should also contain contain basic
project documentation, program features, brief explanation of algorithms or data
structures used, a list of known bugs, and the description of any additional
features/functions you may have implemented (fully optional).
• Makefile: This file is used to compile your program. If you have written the
program in C, the output file name should be UdpChat. If you used Java, the file
name should be UdpChat.class. If Python, have your program be called UdpChat.py.
You do not need to supply a Makefile to compile your code if implementing in
Python.
• Your source code. Please comment your code well, and use clear and sensible
variable names.
• test.txt: This file should contain some output samples from the command line on
several test cases. This will help others to understand how your programs work
in each test scenario. It is optional to include this as a section of your README
document.
Your submission should be made via Courseworks. Zip all the deliverables
mentioned above, and name the zip fileas
