Sending Ethernet frames via sound!

SoundNet

Are you worried about your high speed internet? Then this project comes to your rescue! It's a state of the art implementation that uses sound waves to send 1 bit per second of Ethernet frame. That's right, 1 bit per second!

Setup

1. Run script/up to create a virtual environment .venv with the required packages
2. Activate the virtual environment by running source .venv/bin/activate

Arguments:

receiver.py

Argument	Description	Values
--continuous	Decide if receiver should listen continuously.	Choose from {True, False}

sender.py

Argument	Description	Values
--source	MAC address of the source	integer
--destination	MAC address of the destination	integer
--message	Message to be sent.	string

Usage:

First run the receiver.py:

python3 receiver.py --continuous=True

Then in other console run sender.py:

python3 sender.py --source=0 --destination=1 --message='hello world'

Drink your coffe while the huge amount of data is flowing through your air!

Features:

• encoding message into Ethernet frame
• decoding Ethernet frame into message
• listening to the sounds from microphone, receiving bits and printing the message
• sending encoded message as a sequence of bits via speaker

Additional configuration

If you want to change the SPEED or waves frequencies for bits you can do it in constants.py.
