Network programs connect together different programs, written by different people, through a common protocol. The goal of this project is to put your code in that context and see if it works with other implementations of the pass-on protocol.
We will have a competition to help motivate this project, because you must work together in groups, and organize this yourselves. At the due date we will have the bake-off in class and grades will be awarded.
Decide on an orde that the packet will travers the instances. Each but the starter instance runs as a server. The starter instance uses the -m option to list the IP's of the other instances. The packet should pass through all the instances and back to the starter instance.
The output on each instance should be inspected that the pass on was correct.
The first bake-off will be in class on Friday, February 17, 2023. Challenge rematches might be considered!
