[Csci551-talk] Start time issue.

Actually this approach works as well. So what ever you are happy with.
Although, this one is more bandwidth efficient.. But - as we said.. The
current protocol is not the *most* efficient :).

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 !!!!
