Homework 3: Example Simulation Recording OpenDIS Network Streams
Assignment
- Adapt the functionality for OpenDIS ExampleSimulationProgram, modifying provided code
- Result streams are recorded/saved/replayed using Wireshark or X3D-Edit.
This assignment presents 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.
This is also a freeplay opportunity. You have the option to pick one or more of the provided course example programs and adapt the source 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.
Refer to homework2 README and assignments README for further details on what specific deliverables are expected in each homework assignment.
Team efforts are encouraged, though if you choose a team approach be sure to justify why. This is a good warmup prior to final projects. Have fun with Java networking!
Prior Assignment, August 2019
In 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.
