Statement of purpose

Purpose of this code is to:

  1. Measure a networks data throughput depending on the client's position, by sending packets of different sizes to a server while using a set of different communication libraries
  2. Generate plots from the recorded data

To take the measurements, a client-server architecture is used. The packages functions are exposed as scripts.

Architecture

  • communication contains the implementations of the different communication libraries.
    • for each communication library CommunicationInterface is subclassed once
    • CommunicationInterface serves more as a namespace than as a real class, because it only has static methods and is not supposed to have member variables / state
  • eval contains the code for the evaluation tool (which is implemented using streamlit)

Installation

  • Requires: Python 3 <= 3.8.10
  • Install experiments5G with pip3, via the following methods:
    • When cloned locally: [sudo] pip3 install <path/to/cloned/repository>
    • Directly from the git repository: [sudo] pip3 install pip3 install git+https://git.ni.dfki.de/ctittel/experiments5G.git

It's recommended to run the pip3 install command as root (with sudo), because only then the scripts in scripts/ are installed as system CLI application. The following assumes that you installed the python packages as root and that the scripts in the scripts/ directory are in the $PATH.

Usage

Assumption: experiments5G was installed as root and the scripts in scripts/ are thus available as system-wide CLI applications (if experiments5G was installed without root you will have to find and execute the scripts from where they are located, but the usage should otherwise be the same)

Running the server

  1. Check out the possible parameters with experiments5G_server --help
  2. Run experiments5G_server <your params>

Running the client

  1. Check out the possible parameters with experiments5G_client --help
  2. Make sure experiments5G_server is running and reachable
  3. Run experiments5G_client <your params>

Using the evaluation tool

  1. Run experiments5G_eval
  2. Open http://localhost:8502/ in the browser (should be opened automatically)
  3. Follow the instructions in the evaluation tool
