[Csci551-talk] Exit for tracker.

[Affan, Syed]

I think the spec naturally lends to the first idea. But you can simplify
it even further by mentioning that to the tracker at creation, as you do
for its TCP port.

Best Regards,

The specification says the tracker should exit if it doesnt get a
message from any client for a 'reasonable' multiple of the timeout
period. How will the tracker know what the time out period is ? Should
the manager send it to the tracker after reading the conf file or should
the tracker figure it out himself from past history of difference in
getting interest messages ? Thanks.
