Week 3 (October 15 - October 21, 2017)

• Done with setting up mget but encountered with some issues setting up dummynet on ubuntu 16.04 (Will try to use mininet as an alternative).

Week 5 (October 28, 2017 - November 3, 2017)

• Tried to get the code available on https://[email protected]/cs240groupproject/project3.git working on Ubuntu 16.04 but faced issues regarding openvswitch-controller installation (which is probably why they opted for Ubuntu 14.04)
• Setup the google cloud account and ran the available code on Ubuntu 14.04 and ensured that it worked.

• Modified the web server script to support post requests as well (uploading a file) and analyzed the performance of TCP Fast Open on HTTP POST Operations.
