project Implementation speed (all 4)

12:25pm Fri 10th May, ANONYMOUS

My current implementation blocks new udp connections while waiting for acknowledgements from neighbouring hosts to come back for a specific frame. this will slow down response time, will this get marked down?

Further to this question, are we permitted to use Python's asyncio module to prevent thread blocking when handling network communication?

There's no emphasis on speed or great efficiency in this project, but I'm surprised to read that you're using UDP datagrams in a connected manner (guessing you're using send() rather than sendto() ). I've found it much easier to both send and receive datagrams using the same (not-connected) socket, and use the sender's address (given by recvfrom()) to determine which neighbour sent it.

Yes, it's a standard Python module but, as I mentioned a few time in other questions, I worry that your design/model is more complicated than it needs to be.
