Instructions:
This is an individual assignment. Fill in your details as listed above. Each student will attempt all the questions
in this document and upload the complete document to the course LMS site by the deadline. Please avoid
plagiarism; any such case would result in award zero marks both to the “sharer” and the “acquirer”. You may
note that submitted assignment would be checked through turnitin that would check similarly with not only
internet resources but also with other submitted assignments.

Question 1: In this assignment, your task is to build a system that downloads a large-size file from multiple
servers simultaneously. Each server should have a separate copy of the file and should operate independently.
The file on each server should be fragmented and the client should download the fragments of files from different
servers simultaneously based on the availability of the server for service and then combine them on the client
side. On completion of this assignment, you will gain sufficient expertise in the following skills:

● Socket programming in python


● File segmentation and recombination
● Server setup and handling the server failure
● Download resuming

You will be graded based on the following grading criteria:

• Downloading from single server using TCP


• Downloading from multiple servers using TCP + File Segmentation + File Recombination
• Handling Server Failure and Load Balancing
• Download Resuming
