A competition within course PV177

In the current semester, one of the groups in course PV177 is directed at the topic of peer-to-peer networks. For these students, we provide a possibility to test their knowledge in practice by taking part in a P2P game which is currently being prepared.

For this purpose, a virtual infrastructure consisting of 60 nodes and with simulated real network conditions has been created. The students should create a system for content sharing. However, they are not supposed to write the system from scratch, as they will be provided with a skeleton of peer-to-peer application, which can be freely (in the extent of Gentlemen’s agreement) modified. Resulting implementations would be evaluated in terms of effectivity and robustness.
