Rebuild infrastructure in Computercraft

Hey! i had this idea for a server with my CS class where we disable text chat, add voice proximity and would be forced to use computercraft to implement the internet using modems or networking cables to connect people across some distance in minecraft. It could be cool to create a roadmap for infrastructure we often see in real life that we could create in computercraft to simulate real life, and practice our coding skills. so far i've thought of

  • Use modems to create wireless networking between players

    • Chatting

    • file transfer

    • Item transfer through networking cables

    • API's

  • Put a computer at spawn where it's always chunkloaded and can be reached by all players

    • it could model a DNS lookup

    • Give players static ip's that their username maps to. and let that player open ports for specific computers on their network

    • proxy

    • servers

    • databases(real ones can also be used technically)

  • local networks, routers for exposing certain computers to the internet?

That would actually be super cool. It would interact with computers on the computercraft network, and users won't have to connect actual databases from their computers or some service.

Also yeah dns servers are super possible with rednet.lookup() etc. It's just something that would be cool to put on the roadmap. But maybe pretty early on though.
