Mini Project: Auction_System

This repository contains the implementation of the Mini Project for CCS112 - Communication Models and Protocols, focusing on designing and implementing communication protocols for bid timing mechanisms.

📜 Project Overview

The project demonstrates the use of Client-Server and Publisher-Subscriber models for managing bid timing and profit updates in an auction system. It emphasizes efficient and user-friendly communication protocols.

Key Features

• Client-Server Model:
  • Implements bid timing with a diagrammatic representation.
  • Ensures unique Client IDs via session-based IP address assignment.
• Publisher-Subscriber Model:
  • Provides real-time notifications for bid updates and new items.
  • Continuous notification delivery until acknowledgment.
• Transport Layer Protocol:
  • Uses UDP to ensure real-time, low-latency communication.
• Application Layer Functionality:
  • Implements acknowledgment-based notification delivery.
