pigen-tcp

Happy π day!

This demo project is a Rust implementation of a slightly modified TCP-based Pigen protocol specified in IETF RFC 3091. The main differences between the official specification and this implementation are:

• use of TCP port 31415 instead of invalid 314159
• explicit transmission of the first digit of pi before the decimal point

Running in dev mode

cargo run

Building

cargo build --release

Connecting to the server

You can write a custom TCP client or use a general-purpose one such as ncat:

ncat --recv-only <SERVER_IP> 31415
