Introduction

This code focuses on inter-process communication using the TCP/IP protocol. It utilises the socket module in python to send and receive data between two processes i.e. a server and a client. The server listens for incoming connections and the client sends a message to the server The server then processes that message by reversing and capitalising it then returns a response to the client. The client then prints the response on the console.

Installation

To set up the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>

2. Navigate to the project directory: e.g.

   cd TCP-IP-Inter-Process-Communication

Usage

To run the project, use the following command:

py server.py

and in another terminal run:

py client.py

You should see the following output:
For the server:

Pinging 192.168.0.11 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.11: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.11:
    Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 1, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
192.168.0.11
Starting server

For the client:

Enter the message:

Once you see the above output, you can enter a message and press enter. The server will process the message and return a response to the client. The client will then print the response on the console. e.g

Enter the message: Hello
Server response-> OLLEH

To stop the server, press Ctrl+C in the terminal where the server is running.

Note: Ensure that you have the necessary environment set up for network communication.
