CNT5106C Project Description
Project Overview
In this project, you are asked to write a P2P file-sharing software similar to BitTorrent.
You can complete the project in Java or C/C++. There will be no extra credit for
C/C++.
BitTorrent is a popular P2P protocol for file distribution. Among its interesting features,
you are asked to implement the choking-unchoking mechanism which is one of the most
important features of BitTorrent. In the following Protocol Description section, you can
read the protocol description, which has been modified a little bit from the original
BitTorrent protocol. After reading the protocol description carefully, you must follow
the implementation specifics shown in the Implementation Specifics section.
Protocol Description
This section outlines the protocol used to establish the file management operations
between peers. All operations are assumed to be implemented using a reliable transport
protocol (i.e. TCP). The interaction between two peers is symmetrical: Messages sent
in both directions look the same.
