For the communication between the Anonymization Layer and the Reputation System a simple line based protocol is used. The Reputation System acts as a TCP server and listens on 127.0.0.1 port 4444. All commands are sent by the Anonymization Layer. All commands and responses end with a single newline (<code>"\n"</code> in C).

For the communication between the Anonymization Layer and the Reputation System a simple line based protocol is used. The Reputation System acts as a TCP server and listens on 127.0.0.1 port 4444. All commands are sent by the Anonymization Layer. All commands and responses end with a single newline ("\n" in C).

newuser n
A new user with index n has been added.
No response from the Reputation System.
feedback n m x
User n sent a feedback about user m with value x.
No response from the Reputation System.
query n m
User n wants queries the reputation of user m.
Response
y, the reputation value

n and m are integers from the range (with being the last n sent in a newuser command).
x is from the set
y is a real number, represented with the C format string g or G (with almost arbitrary precision).
