[IPA] MVP to manually test vpr --server mode #2704

Open w0lek opened 3 months ago

w0lek commented 3 months ago

The vpr contains server mode functionality, where the vpr acts as a server instance, waiting the client's requests. In order to check that feature in work we actually requires the separate client application.

Proposed Behaviour

New MVP IPAClient to work in conjunction with vpr --server mode.

w0lek commented 3 months ago

The MVP application is ready as separate github repo. https://github.com/w0lek/IPAClient

The usage https://github.com/w0lek/IPAClient/blob/main/README.md

@vaughnbetz i created ticket to track the progress about IPAClient status.

Things to discuss/implement: 1) how IPAClient repo would be integrated into vtr/vpr repo. 2) documentation/reference from vtr/vpr doc to IPAClient subproject.
