# Running the timeserver
Use `make` to compile the timeserver.
Use `make run` to run the timeserver. This will run on an infinite loop.
Use `Ctrl+C` to stop the timeserver.
## timeserver communication
Communicating with the server can happen using netcat in UDP mode (-u flag).
## timeserver information
The timeserver runs on UDP port 8888.
The timeserver will wait for `time\r\n` to be sent on this port, and if received,
will send back a response of the time (in ms) since January 1st, 1970 (UNIX Epoch).
## pcap information
A demonstration of the timeserver has been captured with Wireshark in the
included `demo.pcap` file.
