PART 1: UDP SOCKETS [5 points]
1. Study the template provided for using UDP sockets in Python (files UDP_Server.py and
UDP_Client.py). Make sure that you understand the purpose of UDP sockets, and the
steps for creating and using these sockets. Run the Client and Server processes and
observe the output.
2. Run the Client and the Server processes on different computers and check if they work
as expected (you will need to specify the server’s IP address).
