Following has to be done in python.

For this assignment, you are supposed to implement a simple prototype for sliding window protocol using selective-repeat protocol. For this prototype, there will be two threads (one simulating data link layer on source and destination machine) running separately (and continuously). You can assume window size of your choice. You can also select range of sequence numbers. Each frame will have following fields:

1. Kind

2. Seq_number

3. Ack

4. Information

5. Checksum: you do not need to calculate the checksum. You can use length of the message as checksum.

Data link layer at the senders side will create frames from the messages from the network layer (this will be simulated by providing a file, and DLL creating for frame for each line. The file will be provided.). Then the data link layer will start sending using the window. It will keep sending frames until the window is full. When a frame is received at the receiving data link layer, it should check if the sequence number of the received frame is same as the frame the data link layer was expecting. After that it should read the frame and should send the acknowledgement to the data link layer at the senders machine.
