Concurrent I/O multiplexing with event-based driver.
We talked in class about distributed systems that are event-based. Now that we have a little background on sockets and multiplexing we get to look and interact with the code of a simple version of an event-based system for an echo server!
Steps:
1. Read in detail section 12.2 of the provided pdf. This talks about the implementation of the event based driver. This is based on the same echo server code in class, but the class code was just with a single socket-based approach.
2. Download the files. You will have to rearrange them since I provide you with every file from the book, and you only need a handful.
3. Compile and run the event-based echo server and client on a Unix/Linux system. Make sure it works. If you are having trouble, it might be that the system you are using has a port blocked by the firewall.
Turn in a zip file. The zip file should contain a folder with you name. The folder should contain all the files you used in the homework. This includes the files that you modified for part 4. You should also add a Makefile that will compile your client and server. Include screenshots of the client and server running (pdf/png/jpeg) that displays the name of the systems. In a textfile (txt), write one paragraph about what you learned in this lab.
