Project description
This program will implement distributed chat on virtual ring topology network. Furthermore this program will implement Chang-Roberts algorithm to achieve full ordering of messages.
- Features:
Nodes can freely join into existing ring, based on information about one node (IP:port). First node will join with itself into ring.
Ring will recover from unexpected disconnect of one node at the time.
One node will be elected as central authority (leader), all messages will be then passed through leader.
Leader will be elected using Chang-Roberts algorithm.
GUI in Qt, it will also have CLI.
Encryption of messages.
