Description:
Ethernet Switch
Program in ANSI C on UNIX,Use of semaphores & threads
Create program that simulates single switch with numClients machines sending messages through it.
Switch will be modeled by main thread. Will be several parameters:
1.numClients-number of ports. Assume that each port is connected to single machine (client). Thread will be created for each
client.
2.rngSeed-seed for random number generator
3.maxCount-number of times each client will attempt to send essage
4.sendProbability-probability ( × 10000) that client will send message on each attempt
Will be data structure shared among all threads. an array, one for each
client, of port s described below.
message::
source // sender's address
destination // destination address
data // an integer value
port::
message // described above
empty // binary semaphore (initially 1)
mutex // binary semaphore (initially 1)
maddr // address of connected machine
Entry port[i].message represents packet input on port[i] of switch. Ports are numbered 0 through numClients
- 1 . Entry port[i].maddr is the information thats maintained in forwarding table. You wont need to keep seperate
forwarding table. The field maddr with index is sufficient. You will need to update this field accordingly, its initially set to
NULL .
Output of simulation will be list of messages forwarded by switch. For each forwarded message a line will be printed
indicating output port , source machine address , destination machine address , and data First message arrived on port 1:
0 1234567 9876 10125
2 1234567 9876 10125
3 1234567 9876 10125
1 74855 1234567 77449201
Switch thread will implement following pseudocode.
srand( rngSeed )
InitClient( numClients ) // supplied function
Create array of ports
Initialize array of ports
Initialize sendingClients to numClients
for i = 0 to numClients - 1
Start new thread for client attached to port i
while sendingClients > 0
for i = 0 to numClients - 1
if message on port i // new entry in port[i]
update forwarding table if new information
search forwarding table for output port
if port found
send message out port
else
send message out all ports except i
Check out attached to continue
