[Csci551-talk] Finding total number of segments

[hariram yogendran]

Hi,


For algorithm T we need to find the total number of segments in the file before 
we start downlading the file to calculate the sequence.For this does the seed 
have to calculate the number of segments send it to the tracker (this means that 
we will need new messege type for sending the total segments).Then the tracker 
will send this to all the clients.Or can I assume that the total number of segments 
is going to be fixed.Or is it going to be the maximm number of segments.Please 
clarify so that I can proceed.

Regards,
Hari.
