🤔 Why DFP

DFP protocol is actually built for education purpose and to fullfill simple needs . Why do i built it - Actually i just built it for fun and i though building it will help me through my understanding of what/how protocol and network works ⚙️.

But then i thought of making some custom rules for it and here it is my initial version my very basic yet functional custom protocol 🛠️.

i. Install via Pypi (pip)

pip install dfp-protocol

The flags can be altered depending on the usage , which improves flexibility
