Fishnet

Current version: 1.3.4

The Fishnet API supports the construction of an overlay network on one or more machines. It will be used as a development environment for programming assignments in CSE461 in Winter 2002.

Installation instructions

First, download cse461-fishnet_1.3.4.tar.gz. Then, from the command prompt, type 

    tar xvfz cse461-fishnet_1.3.4.tar.gz
This will create a directory called cse461-fishnet, which contains all the files you need to develop with Fishnet.
