🧪 EE323 Network Programming Assignments

This repository contains solutions to four major network programming assignments from KAIST's EE323 Computer Networks course. The assignments progressively build an understanding of socket programming, application-layer protocols, network-layer routing, and transport-layer reliability.

🗂 Assignments Overview

📡 Assignment 1: TCP Echo Server and Client

Goal: Implement a simple server that accepts TCP connections and echoes client messages line by line.

  • ✅ Each client runs in its own process (via fork()).
  • ✅ Message is transmitted upon pressing Enter.
  • ✅ Double Enter triggers client exit.
  • ✅ Command-line interface using getopt() (-p, -h).
  • ✅ Compatible with file redirection and piping (< input.txt, > output.txt).

Files:

  • server.c
  • client.c
  • Makefile

Run:

# Server
$ ./server -p 12345

# Client
$ ./client -p 12345 -h 127.0.0.1

🌐 Assignment 2: HTTP Proxy Server

Goal: Build a multi-client HTTP/1.0 proxy server supporting basic caching and blacklisting.

  • ✅ Accepts requests, forwards them to destination servers, returns responses.
  • ✅ Parses HTTP requests (method, URL, host).
  • ✅ Filters blacklisted domains and redirects to http://warning.or.kr.
  • ✅ Can be tested with browser, telnet, or Python script.
  • ✅ Properly handles malformed requests with HTTP 400.

Files:

  • proxy.c
  • Makefile

Run:

$ ./proxy <PORT> < blacklist.txt

Test (example):

$ telnet localhost <PORT>
GET http://example.com/ HTTP/1.0
Host: example.com

🚦 Assignment 3: Software Router Implementation (via Mininet + POX)

Goal: Simulate a software router that performs routing, ARP handling, ICMP response, and packet forwarding in a Mininet-emulated network.

  • ✅ Responds to ARP requests and maintains ARP cache.
  • ✅ Responds to ICMP Echo Requests and Time Exceeded (Traceroute).
  • ✅ Filters packets from blacklisted subnets (10.0.2.0/24).
  • ✅ Drops packets with unresolved ARP after timeout, replies with ICMP Unreachable.
  • ✅ Fully tested using Mininet and POX SDN controller.

Files:

  • router/sr_router.c
  • router/sr_arpcache.c
  • router/Makefile

Run (inside VM):

$ ./run_pox.sh
$ ./run_mininet.sh
$ ./sr

📦 Assignment 4: Reliable Transport Layer (STCP)

Goal: Implement a simplified TCP-like transport protocol called STCP.

  • ✅ Three-way handshake (SYN/SYN-ACK/ACK)
  • ✅ Four-way connection teardown (FIN/ACK)
  • ✅ In-order, reliable, full-duplex transmission
  • ✅ Sliding window with slow start
  • ✅ Logging transmission statistics (client_log.txt, server_log.txt)
  • ✅ Compatible with mysock interface (provided stub)

Files:

  • transport.c (ONLY file modified)
  • Compiles with provided Makefile

Run:

# Server
$ ./server

# Client
$ ./client <SERVER_IP>:<PORT> -f testfile.txt

Output:

  • File rcvd is saved at the client side.
  • Logs are saved in the root directory.

🛠 Build Instructions

Each assignment contains a Makefile. Run:

$ make

To clean:

$ make clean

⚠ All code is tested and compiled on KAIST lab machines (eelab5, eelab6). Behavior may vary on other environments.
