Issue: Implementation of the Terminal Class Logic

[David-A-T-M]

Description

Implement the core logic for the Terminal class as defined in the header file. The terminal acts as an end-node in the network simulation, responsible for page fragmentation into packets, packet reassembly, and bandwidth management.

Key Requirements

• Constructor: Initialize buffers, IP, and bandwidth parameters.
• Page Fragmentation (sendPage): Logic to split Page objects into multiple Packet objects and enqueue them in the outputBuffer.
• Packet Reception (receivePacket): Safely buffer incoming packets.
• Buffer Processing:
  • processOutputBuffer: Send packets to the connected Router limited by externalBW.
  • processInputBuffer: Dequeue packets and route them to the correct PageReassembler limited by internalBW.
• Reassembly Management: Implement findOrCreateReassembler and handleCompletedPage to track incoming data streams.
• Monitoring: Implement toString and the ostream friend operator for simulation logging.

Todo List

• Implement member functions in Terminal.cpp.
• Ensure proper handling of PageReassembler pointers within the List.
• Verify bandwidth constraints (External vs. Internal).
• Add unit tests for fragmentation and reassembly.
