Project overview: The idea of the project is to create a .net core server and have multiple clients communicate with it through the TLS/SSL protocol simultaneously. Clients automatically generate and send data to the server. The idea is to experiment with how the server/clients behave (and what problems occur) when a big amout of data is transfered at fast rates.

Contains:

• 1 .NET Core 3.1 console application for the server
• 1 .NET Core 3.1 console application for the client
• 1 bat file for starting one instance of the server and one for the client
• 1 bat file for starting one instance of the server and ten for the client

Details:

• Client:
  • Keeps a queue with all the data objects that need to be sent
  • Keeps a list of all the data which has been sent but is awaiting a response from the server.
  • When the client receives a response from the server:
    • If the server response is positive - the item is removed from the awaiting response data objects list.
    • If the server response is negative - the item is removed from the awaiting response data objects list and is enqueued to be sent again.
  • Data fields:
    • Id
    • FirstName
    • LastName
    • City
    • PostCode
    • AppVersion
    • Email
    • Music
    • Performer
    • Year
    • Hour
    • MD5 hash
    • FileName
    • FileType
    • Date
• Server
  • Deserializes the client object data:
    • If that's successfull, a positive response is sent to the client.
    • If it's unsuccessfull, the GUID Id is extracted from the JSON serialized string (using Regex) and is sent to the client along with a negative response so it can be reprocessed.
