Hello, I've made a python script that looks at the Transperth timetables and makes an adjacency file, similar to buildrandomtimetables.c, which I can then plug into assignports.sh. I've come across a problem where station A has a hop that goes to stat...

Hello Chris, How complex does our UDP packet-loss detection have to be? For example, messages might get split, so we could add packet-joining capability. However, most of the messages exchanged between stations are less than 1000 bytes, so it seems un...

Hi Chris, Are we expected to implement UDP ACKs NACKs, or do we assume that UDP packets will always arrive? It's never explicitly said if we have to, even though the project description does say that UDP is unreliable. Also, for the demo, do we have t...

Some timetables go past midnight and will say, for example, "24 16". Should we discard these times or keep them?
