A Python version of reliable data transfer over UDP implemented using the go-back-N algorithm. This algorithm uses a sliding window to send multiple packets to a receiver. If a packet or acknowledgement is lost, the sender re-transmits the entire window of packets. This implementation will reliably copy a file from the sender's location to the receiver's location provided both the sender and the receiver are running locally on the same machine.
To run the system:
- Run the receiver:
python receiver.py [filename of the file to write to] - Run the sender:
python sender.py [filename of file to read from]
