peer-to-peer based file sharing system

***This is college assignment so not much proficiency is required. But if you do this proficently, you will be awarded thousands of such projects in many of the programming languages.*** Objectives: • To design and develop an exemplary distributed system that is peer-to-peer based. • To use Java’s powerful networking and concurrency features. Problem Statement and Requirements: Using Java, design and implement a peer-to-peer-based system for sharing files per the following requirements: • Your program should accept two command-line arguments: – An absolute-path to a file that contains IP addresses to other peers that are part of the file-sharing swarm. Each IP address is on a single line. – An absolute-path to a directory that contains the files that can be made available to other peers to download. Also, files that are obtained from other peers are stored in this directory. • Upon start up, a peer waits two minutes before contacting all other peers whose IP addresses are given by the file passed as an argument on the command line. • A peer can download many files from other peers concurrently. Moreover, A peer can download files concurrently while serving other peers. • Each peer has a background process that keeps checking for new files on other peers every 30 seconds. • A peer cannot share a file that has not yet been downloaded in its entirety. • A peer does not know and hence cannot download files from peers who are not listed in the file that is passed as an argument on the command line. • The files can be anything, e.g., multimedia files, zipped files, and are not restricted to be only text file. • You have to write a single application that can be executed several times that equal the number of peers. Deliverables: Submit your homework as a single compressed file containing ONLY the Java source file(s) (i.e., the .java file(s)), and a text file detailing the steps required to run your program.
