Java UDP Health Monitoring Load Balancer

A simple Java-based UDP health-monitoring system that demonstrates:

• Client sends synthetic health data (heart rate & temperature)
• Load Balancer listens on port 8000 and forwards incoming packets in round-robin to three servers
• Servers listen on different ports (9000, 9001, 9002) and print received data

How to Run

When using VS Code, make sure you have three Run Configurations (or launch three terminals):

1. Server Instances

   • Run server_part1 with argument 9000
   • Run server_part1 with argument 9001
   • Run server_part1 with argument 9002

2. Load Balancer

   • Run load_balancer (no arguments) — listens on port 8000

3. Client

   • Run client_part1 (no arguments) — sends data to load balancer

Order:

1. Start all three Server configurations (ports 9000, 9001, 9002)
2. Start the Load Balancer
3. Finally, start the Client
