Homework 3: Recording OpenDIS Network Streams
Updated Assignment, August 2019
Students worked together on a single project to check wireless multicast connectivity recently deployed on NPS campus.
See their experimental results in the NPS Multicast Connectivity Report.
Original Assignment
- Adapt the functionality for OpenDIS PDU Track Sender, modifying provided code
- Result streams are recorded/saved/replayed using X3D-Edit or Wireshark.
Freeplay opportunity! Pick one of the provided course example programs (single or multiple source files) and adapt it to demonstrate a new client-server handshake protocol of interest.
Be sure to provide a rationale that justifies why the networking choices you made (TCP/UDP, unicast/multicast, etc.) are the best for the problem you are addressing.
This assignment is also a Problem Prototyping opportunity. While some minimal functionality is expected, the general outline of a networking problem and proposed solution holds great interest. Think of it as a warmup preparation for your final project.
