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.

Refer to homework2 README and assignments README for further details on what specific deliverables are expected in your homework assignment.

Team efforts are allowed, 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!
