This forum is provided to promote discussion amongst students enrolled in CITS3002 Computer Networks.

Please consider offering answers and suggestions to help other students! And if you fix a problem by following a suggestion here, it would be great if other interested students could see a short "Great, fixed it!" followup message. How do I ask a good question?

Chris is away until 4th June. Dr Atif Mansoor is the unit's coordinator until then.

Do we have to ensure that despite the unreliable nature of UDP the datagram must be transmitted properly?

This is a Level-3 unit, in which the project's requirements are listed, but actual implementation details are not specified. You are not being told what you *have* to do, nor how you *have* to implement your solution. The problem is not open-ended, and there are a number of possible solutions of varying usefulness. As a guide, if you were a user of your application, using a mobile device to post your query, what response/information (on an error) would you prefer to receive? I hope that this helps,
