Exercise 4.3: The programs in UDPClient and UDPServer are available at www.cdk5.net/ipc. Use them to make a test kit to determine the conditions in which datagrams are sometimes dropped. Hint: the client program should be able to vary the number of messages sent and their size; the server should detect when a message from a particular client is missed.

Excercise 4.4: Use the program in UDPClient to make a client program that repeatedly reads a line of input from the user, sends it to the server in a UDP datagram message, then receives a message from the server. The client sets a timeout on its socket so that it can inform the user when the server does not reply. Test this client program with the server program in UDPServer.

UDPCLIENT: import java.net.*; import java.io.*; public class UDPClient{ public static void main(String args[]){ // args give message contents and destination hostname DatagramSocket aSocket = null; try { aSocket = new DatagramSocket(); byte [] m = args[0].getBytes(); InetAddress aHost = InetAddress.getByName(args[1]); int serverPort = 6789; DatagramPacket request = new DatagramPacket(m, args[0].length(), aHost, serverPort); aSocket.send(request); byte[] buffer = new byte[1000]; DatagramPacket reply = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length); aSocket.receive(reply); System.out.println("Reply: " + new String(reply.getData())); }catch (SocketException e){System.out.println("Socket: " + e.getMessage()); }catch (IOException e){System.out.println("IO: " + e.getMessage()); }finally {if(aSocket != null) aSocket.close();} } }
