Implementation of ARQ on top of UDP sockets in C.

arq-udp's Issues

No way to terminate `Receiver`

Once the receiver is initiated, it listens on the port on loop. We need to figure out a way to terminate without SIGINT signal.

Lack of Documentation

The README.md currently doesn't provide any information about the program. Things we need to include:

• Introduction( What is the program, and what are we trying to do )
• How to compile this program
• How to run this program
• What sort of inputs can cause errors
  and optionally explain the program briefly.

Redundant Arguments

both Sender.c and Receiver.c takes arguments that are not used in the program.
In particular, this is the port number the sender is supposed to receive ACKs on. But our program assigns a random port at runtime, which is used for subsequent communications. One way is to bind Sender on that port, another way would be to create 2 sockets on each side to listen and talk to. Suggestions are welcomed.

Need to create log files for `sender` and `receiver`.

Currently, we lack the functionality to show output on the terminal and save it to a .txt file as well.
