Peer-to-Peer Chat RMI

Develop, document, and evaluate a Peer-to-Peer based chat application in the Java language. Rather than routing messages through a centralised server, our chat server will be based loosely on a Gnutella design. Specifically messages will be sent through the peer network, but a ChatServer will be required to provide a newly started client with a list of known clients on the Chat Network.*********The document should describe your design under the following headings: · Design Description: Clearly describe the distributed application design. In particular, describe any protocols used or interfaces assumed by your code with figures and interface descriptions where necessary. · Issues: Describe any issues which you had difficulty addressing, or issues you would have liked to address have you had more time. · Evaluation: Critically compare your design in terms of its strengths and weaknesses. Where possible, compare your design choices specifically to alternative designs and methodologies which could have been implemented within the confines of the assignment. · The report itself should between 8-10 pages.********
