Choosing Between STDIO and SDTTP

MediumPython

Problem

When would you use the STDIO versus STDTP transmission methods?

Implement choose_transmission(requests) using these operational rules: use STDIO for local, low-overhead requests that do not require reliable delivery; use STDTP for network requests, requests requiring reliability, or payloads larger than the configured threshold.

Each request is a map containing channel, reliable, and payload_size. Return an array containing the selected method for each request, in input order. The threshold is 1024 bytes.

Constraints

  • 0 <= requests.length <= 10^5
  • channel is either "local" or "network"
  • reliable is a boolean
  • 0 <= payload_size <= 10^9
  • The STDTP threshold is 1024 bytes
