[Csci551-talk] Start time issue.

[tushar makhija]

What should be the output from the tracker if a node (that does that have the file) asks for a group assignment before a node that has the file shows interest ? The tracker has no knowlede who has the file in this case .. should the reply just indicate 0 nodes so that the node can ask an assignment again after request timeout period ? 


Till the Tracker gets the seed he has nothing to do .. 
so client will basically timeout  and tehn resend his request .

and if within tht time tracker has a SEED 
he can reply back to the request of the client with a groupassign message

hope this helps

happy hacking !!!!
