Module 1: One peer to another peer

• Tracker-peer architecture

Run

    $ cd 1p2p
    $ py IP.py
    $ py tracker.py
    # py peer.py

---

Module 2: Multiple peers to one peer

• Concurrent sharing of equivalent portion of file using threading

Run

    $ cd p2p_multiple
    $ py IP.py
    $ py tracker.py
    $ run multiple peers on different devices, or as different programs
    # py peer.py

Module 3: Corner Cases and flexible features

• Flexibility during the change of wifi
• Working under heterogeneous devices

CornerCases

• What happens to the peer information at tracker when peer disconnects?
• What happens if one peer gets disconnected while sharing a file with another peer?
• What happens if one of the peers goes down while file sharing from multiple peers to one peer?
