Distributed Data Processing Systems Assignment 2

Design Your Own Distributed System

This repository contains the code necessary to run an implementation of Chord built by Jasper G Dellaert and Akshay Ram Bhat for the course Distributed Data Processing Systems at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science in Leiden University by Prof. Alexander Uta.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7.9

Running the Code

In order to run the code follow the instructions in this order:

1. Run the following command on an open terminal. ./chord.sh \ This will start the connection and have 5 nodes running.
2. Open another terminal and run this command to start connecting to the network python3 user_node.py <PORT_NUMBER> where PORT_NUMBER is a a port number that is active in the network. If using the shell script provided, use 2010.
3. You will be faced with a menu

   1. Join Network
   2. Leave Network
   3. Upload File
   4. Download File
   

4. Choose 1 and join the network.
5. The menu will reappear after connecting and you will then be able to upload or download files using 3 and 4.

Feel free to rest out our implementation of Chord. For more details on how Chord works, please read the original paper here.
