[Csci551-talk] Number of connections

[Affan, Syed]

Kinnari is correct; also you can use the same UDP connection (per node)
for communicating with tracker and other clients.

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.

Kinnari
