[Csci551-talk] screen output messages

[S. Rubin]

Then, what is the 0xFF and 0xAA for as a new requirement? I number the messages
with my own numbers and later convert them into strings to be written into the log files
as shown in the project paper sample outputs. Do you care if I use non-hex values for
my own purposes as long as I print the correct string into the log file?  How does
our internal choice of values affect the ease of grading for you since you will be seeing
strings anyway?

I dont think the requirement is to print anything on the screen. Simply log the output. We will only grade based on the log file.

I know that there are no stated requirements, except for the 0xFF and 0xAA
messages, regarding what to display on the screen.  I noticed that if I display
"inter-client" messages for each segment request/receipt, the I/O really slows 
down the "download" progress.Could the person grading the program be satisfied 
with "client<-->tracker" messages and perhaps some milestone reaching steps, 
like start/finish download, new client comes/goes, etc. We record everything in 
the log files anyway, so all steps can be traced.
Thanks,
Sophia
