The code is designed to be containerised using Docker. + + +## Prerequisites +- Python 3.x +- Docker and Docker Compose + +## Description +Each node in the network has a configuration file that lists its neighbors. + +The exercise involves the following steps, [file](./sock.py): +1. Initalisation: + - Each node reads its neighbors file. + - Each node starts a server socket to listen for incoming connections +2. Message Exchange: + - During the first *x* iterations, each node sends a message of type REQUEST_WEIGHT to all its neighbors. + - Upon receiving a message of type REQUEST_WEIGHT, a node responds by sending back a message of type WEIGHTS to the requesting node. + - The algorithm runs for a total of *N* iterations + - Each node logs its activities and messages + +## Dockerfile +Once your code is developed, it is time to build the container image, [DockerFile](./Dockerfile) + + +## \ No newline at end of file
