Centralized imaging system

by Alexandru Juncu

Hello. I am student of Computer Science and this semester I am doing a project for my degree based on UDPCast. I am also a teaching assistant I have been using UDPCast in all our lab room where we have our courses. What we do now is install an image on a computer in a room, an then copy the harddrive/partition over multicast. The thing is that we want a server that would hold many images with version history. What my project has to to is allow the unicast copy of a computer image to this server, and then, when needed, using a client that would activate UDPCast on the server as a sender and using normal UDPCast as receiver on the rest of the computers. This is the basic idea, and should be rather simple, but I would really appreciate the help anyone can give. My questions until now: 1) Is the source for the Custom udpcast boot media configurator available? 2) Can i set up the server to multicast from a file?

Dear Sumit: 1) I am afraid that you are attempting to stretch UDPcast towards the opposite direction of what is its original intention, that is, to distribute update files to multiple client PCs in one shot. This is what the counter in Sender is for. 2) If there are 10 clients to receive update files, the Sender can start the "batch" job once the counter has reached 10. On the other hand, if one or more receivers failed to log in, the person in control of the Sender can make a decision as whether to wait or to send update files to those already logged in, leaving the last few to be dealt with later in additional "batches". 3) Looking for additional Receivers in the middle of broadcasting files to those already logged in will demand for more processing power from the Sender. With the procedure available in Pt. 2), this complexity is not justifiable. Hope my reasoning makes sense to you.

Dear Sumit: With your clarification, I believe what I stated in my last MSG was correct: 1. Do not start file transfer to A user, upon its log in. 2. Wait for the 2nd user to log in. 3. Press "return / enter" key on Sender's keyboard to start file transfer to both users at the same time. Hope the above clears up the procedure for you.

Dear All I have observed a scenario where I have observed that If in UDP sender I give following command udp-sender --file "White_paper_Multistream_R1.pdf" --full-duplex --portbase 3001 --blocksize 1100 --interface 192.168.100.251 --mcast-data-address 239.1.1.1 --max-bitrate 128000 --log log.txt --nokbd --bw-period 2 --daemon-mode --min-receiver 1 And UDP receiver I give command udp-receiver --file "White_paper_Multistream_R1.pdf" --portbase 3001 --nokbd SCENARIO 1. A user logs in as a client File transfer starts for this user. 2. During this transfer 2nd user log in. 3. The file transfer for first continues till it gets finished. 4. For 2nd user the file transfer never starts. I have to close the UDPcast server and give command. Practically it should work which means that if my server is running it should cater to client users as and when they login to it. Please suggest, may be I am making mistake somewhere. Regards Sumit
