CONTENT DISTRIBUTION APPLICATION
The content distribution application has been divided into three projects
1. FileChunk
FileChunk module serializes the data according to the format specified by QSM. The header of that data packet contains the filename, offset, packet size and file size.
2. FileCaster
FileCaster is the broadcast module. This modules receives serialized packets from the FileChunk module and queues them to be sent over QSM.
3. FileCeiver
FileCeiver module receives the serialized data packets sent to the group by the sender. It checks if all the packets have been received or not. If not, it waits for the sender to send that packet again. When all the data packets have been received, it assimilates them into the complete file.
THE USAGE
FileCaster takes 3 arguments. First is the subnet which can be given the form of four dot separated octets with x as the wildcard (192.168.1.x). Second is the IP Address of the node on which the GMS service is hosted. And third is the relative or absolute path of the file to be distributed over the network.
