Guide — How to run the program

The program uses ports that start and end on the same port to create a "ring". No ports can be reused. We suggest the ports: 8430, 8431, 8432

You must use port 8430 for exactly one of the clients/peers

From the peer folder, run:

go run peer.go -port 8430 -next 8431

From another terminal, run:

go run peer.go -port 8431 -next 8432

From a third terminal, run:

go run peer.go -port 8432 -next 8430

Each individual terminal will display a number representing logical time at which the critical section is accessed by the peer.

Assumptions

• token ring, assume no crash failures
• take port of self and next in ring
