Next time TCP. and more about multiplexing with TCP.

Recap

video buffer​

currently on Streaming stored video. Chapter 7.2 on 6th ed.

In Video streaming, there's a TCP buffer, and Client buffer. #read: analysis on video streaming

#todo : paste image of buffer (with x, Q, R..) Startup delay : Q/x sec. where Q is the minimum byte client needs to start showing. x is the transmission rate (byte/ sec)

when R is bigger than x, and depletion rate is faster than x, there will be stopping in playing. when R is smaller than x, the buffer will be full, and there will be packet drop.

Video Streaming (Cont'd)

Manifest files​

manifest file provides URLs for different chunks. manifest file is sent first. As the client manages the buffer, it chooses the right chunk needed.

Socket programming w/ UDP & TCP

Steps (Application layer -> Transport layer) the running application is called a process. The process will create a socket with designated port. Done. All others are out of hand.

TCP will take care of the un-landed packets. (by ACK) UDP do not do connection establishment. UDP do not do a handshake. In UDP, sender explicitly attaches destination IP & port to each packet.

Socket w/ UDP​

Example app: UDP client​

from socket import *
serverName = 'hostname'
serverPort = 12000
clientSocket=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)

message=raw_input("input lower case sentance")
clientSocket.sendto(message.encode(),(serverName,serverPort)) #encodes string into bytes.

modifiedMessage, serverAddress = clientSocket.recvfrom(2048) # max byte to be recieved.
print modifiedMessage.decode() # utf-8 to string
clientSocket.clse()

Example server : UDP server​

from socket import *
serverPort = 12000

serverSocket=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)
serverSocket.bind(("",serverPort))
print("The server is ready to receive")

while True :
	message,clientAddress = serverSocket.recvfrom(2048)
	modifiedMessage - message.decode().upper()
	serverSocket.sendto(modifiedMessage.encode(),clientAddress)

Socket w/TCP​

  • when client creates socket: client establishes connection to server TCP
    • difference : the accept() function is needed.
    • #todo : check the process w/ wireshark.
  • new socket for each client.

Example app : TCP client​

from socket import *
serverName = 'servername'
serverPort = 12000
clientSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
clientSocket.connet((serverName,serverPort))

#todo : fill out the codes. both server and app.

Example server :TCP client​

...
while Ture:
	connectionSocket, addr = serverSocket.accept()

	sentence = connectionSocet.recv(1024).decode()
	capitalizedSentence = sentence.upper()
	connectionSocket.send(capitalizedSentence.encode())

	connectionSocket.close()
