[Csci551-talk] Number of connections

[kinnari agarwal]

Page 3, first paragraph of the specification says: "The manager process will create a TCP port (look at getsockname () for dynamic port assignment) from which it will listen to all spawned nodes." (I think) this means that there is one common TCP port through which all the client processes communicate with the manager. It's not like every client will open a new TCP connection with the manager. So you do not have 3*n connections.
