Dsys - Assignment 5 - Distributed Auction

How to start

1. Run the passive replication by starting replica nodes using go run . x
   1. Note: this implementation doesn't use flags. The first argument following the .(dot), is the id of the replica. We have hardcoded the system to work for 3 replicas. So, the only 3 ids that will work are 0,1,2.
      1. go run . 0 first
      2. go run . 1
      3. go run . 2
   2. One node has to be marked as the first primary replica. This is marked as an argument following the x using a first. This should always be the one with the lowest id, meaning id of 0.
      1. go run . x first
2. Run auction clients using go run Client/client.go
   1. Important: Remember using the -cID flag to give a client node an ID (integer). This ID is used inside the auction system, so remember to increment it for each new client started.

Copy paste to separate terminals

First the replication nodes:

1. go run . 0 first
2. go run . 1
3. go run . 2

Then the client(s)

1.go run Client/client.go -cID 1

2.go run Client/client.go -cID 2

How to use (Client)

There is a single auction running at a time. It has duration of 20sec, if you wish to bid write in the console: bid [amount] the bid amount most be higher than the current highest bid to be accepted.

To see the result of the latest auction write result in the console, this will also tell you the time left of the auction or when the next auction will start.
