Status Report for Luis - #13 of 16

["Luis MartinGarcia." <luis.mgarc () gmail com>]

Hi!

Here are the accomplishments of the week, and the priorities for next
week:

Accomplishments:

* Made the echo client able to send probes and capture echoed packets
  at the same time.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Nping from working when targeting 
  localhost.
* Improved handling of default header values.
* Made the client use proper field specifiers in the NEP_PACKETSPEC
  message.
* Improved server's captured packet scoring mechanism.
* Improved client session handling. Now the server detects when a client 
  disconnects and deletes its context information. Clients can also 
  detect when the server crashes and print the relevant error message.
* Client code was rewritten entirely..
* Improved incoming packet validation on both ends.
* Added a lot of code documentation.
* Implemented "delayed RCVD output". This allows the client to show the
  CAPT packets right after the SENT packets, so it's easier to tell the
  differences.
* Added echo-mode info to final stats.
* Changed the way the CAPT time is computed so it's more realistic and 
  doesn't conflict with the timeline.
* Made the client stop the delay and print any pending RCVD packets 
  once a CAPT is received.
* Implemented timeouts so the client is able to detect unresponsive 
  servers.
* Fixed a few bugs and segfaults.
* Had a meeting with Fyodor and scheduled the next one.


Priorities:

* Implement crypto.
* Test and fix bugs.
* Reorganize verbose and debugging output in echo mode.
* Add documentation to the man page.

Regards,


Luis MartinGarcia.
