## 📦 Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install multicast-dpi-system
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/SikariaKhushi/Multicast_DPI_System.git
cd multicast-dpi-system
pip install -e .
```

### Development Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/SikariaKhushi/Multicast_DPI_System.git
cd multicast-dpi-system
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## 🛠️ Quick Start

### 1. Basic Usage

```python
from multicast_dpi_system import MulticastDPISystem
from src.utils.config_handler import ConfigManager
from src.utils.logging_utils import LoggingManager

# Initialize the system
config_manager = ConfigManager()
logging_manager = LoggingManager(config_manager.get_logging_config())
system = MulticastDPISystem(logging_manager, config_manager)

# Start the system
system.start()

# The system will automatically:
# - Capture multicast packets
# - Perform DPI analysis
# - Classify traffic
# - Apply policies
# - Generate configurations
```

### 2. Command Line Interface

```bash
# Run the system with default configuration
multicast-dpi

# Or run the main module directly
python -m src.main
```

## ⚙️ Configuration

The Multicast DPI System is configured through YAML and JSON files in the `configs/` folder at the project root. **You can override any system default by editing or adding the relevant key in these files.**

### Configuration Structure

```

#### 3. Classification Rules (`configs/classification_rules.yaml`)

*(See the system config in `src/system_config/classification_rules.yaml` for the full structure. You can override any category or threshold by copying the relevant section here and editing it.)*

#### 4. Policy Configuration (`configs/policy_config.yaml`)

```yaml
policy_manager:
  enabled: true

policy_templates:
  security:
    block_malware:
      description: "Block traffic with malware signatures"
      conditions:
        - field: "signatures"
          operator: "contains"
          value: "malware"
      action: "block"
      priority: "critical"
    # ... (other templates)
```

#### 5. Signatures (`configs/signatures.json`)

*(You can add or override protocol signatures for DPI by editing this file. See the system config for the full structure.)*

**Tip:**  
You only need to include the settings you want to override in your user config files. The system will always use the merged result: **user config > system config**.

### Data Flow

```
Packet Capture → DPI Engine → Traffic Classifier → Policy Manager → Config Generator
     ↓              ↓              ↓                ↓                ↓
  Raw Packets → Protocol ID → Classification → Policy Enforcement → Device Configs
```

- `config_generator.log`: Configuration generation logs (JSON format)

### Statistics

Each module provides detailed statistics:

```python
# Get system statistics
system_stats = system.get_system_status()

# Get classification statistics
classifier_stats = system.traffic_classifier.get_classification_statistics()

# Get policy statistics
policy_stats = system.policy_manager.get_statistics()

    def classify_traffic(self, context: PacketContext) -> ClassificationResult:
        # Your custom classification logic
        pass
```

custom_policy = PolicyRule(
    name="Custom Policy",

    conditions=[
        PolicyCondition(field="src_ip", operator="equals", value="192.168.1.100")
    ],
    action=PolicyAction.BLOCK,
    priority=PolicyPriority.HIGH
)

system.policy_manager.add_policy(custom_policy)
```

### Adding Custom Configuration Generators

```python
from src.interfaces.config_generator import IConfigGenerator

class CustomConfigGenerator(IConfigGenerator):

        pass
```
