Packet delay page

[danalex97]

At the moment, the frontend client uses Python and the metrics package. However, we want to migrate towards a Golang server with a React frontend.

On the branch frontend we have a running Gorilla server with a single "Hello World" React component:

• the code for the server can be found in the server folder
• to run the frontend test server, run go run main.go -test-server
• the server has a REST API; the single resource now is at localhost:8000/new_events and returns a JSON with all new events
• the React components are served statically by the server; the landing page is at localhost:8000/display

This issue is about developing a packet delay page.

Checklist:

• [ ] read and understand the code in the server package
• [ ] calculate the delay for a packet from multiple UnderlayPacketEntry entries of the log
• [ ] the page contains a live time plot of the packet sizes
• [ ] the page contains a live bar plot of the packet sizes
• [ ] generate a good testing example by modifying server/testing.go
