[Csci551-talk] screen output messages

[Affan, Syed]

Actually nothing ... you are correct, only the 0xAAAA is the required
thing that we will test and can see in the log files as per the
specifications.

I am confused...
Are you referring to the output where we need to show the raw reply
message in hex
(in the tracker log file)? If so, tracker will only record the reply
message, which is 
always 0xAAAA. All message types in a client's log file are displayed as
strings,
according to the sample outputs provided.  What am I missing?

No I dont care, just print the right output to the log file. I just want
that the hex value printed in the log file should be consistent across
all students (and it had no reason to be before since we didnt specify
it), hence the 0xFFFF and 0cAAAA values now. .

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
