How to run falcon in the network environment #43

Open Atbnsanw opened 2 years ago

Atbnsanw commented 2 years ago

I want to test the falcon and found 4 four IP addresses in files/IP_localhost, and I want to know the corresponding relationship between these IP addresses and PC0, PC1, and PC2, and how to change the communication port. Can the Falcon run in the network environment just by changing the IP address in files/IP_localhost? Thanks a lot.

Yes, the IPs are in order so the first one should be the IP of PC0, second one PC1 and so on. You should be able to run it over the network by simply changing the files files/IP_* (for instance, if you modify IP_LAN then make sure you're running the right command/arguments from the makefile).

To change the communication port, you will have to carefully modify this piece of the code to ensure that they're consistent across parties, i.e., if PC0 hosts on port X, then PC1 and PC2 need to know that.
