SEOC Project Networks - 5PMIPRE2

Goal(s)

Development of a Java network application from scratch or from existing libraries in order to make students aware of the implementation and integration of network protocols within a successful prototype.
It will be necessary to specify the software architecture, to implement it, to check the conformity of the implemented prototype by interacting with existing applications and to highlight the performances.
The application to be made is a bittorrent client.

Content(s)

The interest of this project is that the students must organize their work themselves, search for documentation or existing code online and gradually set up an operational prototype covering the different scenarios that they will define as they go.
The programming language is Java.
In addition to team management, this project will be an opportunity to design an object-oriented software architecture, to approach advanced concepts of network programming (non-blocking socket, peer-to-peer paradigm (client / server), parser ...) and programming itself (thread, clean code, design pattern: state machine, observer, reactor, ...).

You will use an integrated development environment (Eclipse / Netbeans), a version control system (Git)
and you will test the compatibility of your network traffic as you go through network tools (Wireshark, ...) or by interacting directly with existing applications.

Finally, you will analyze the performance of your application (Jprofiler, network speed, ...) within an easily reproducible (automated) scenario involving the downloading of a large file between your client and several existing bittorrent clients scattered over several machines of the Ensimag network.
A comparison of the performances of the customers of the different groups can fuel a discussion on the effectiveness of the download strategies implemented.
