It was the second week, so much agitated :) . I moved in this week, not so hard because it was in the same street, but it was a change. So, I getting more and more knowledge… Even though the troubles I get some concrete!

• Re-write the previous prototype, using the controlling structures of TCP.
• Make a summary, submit the sources, feedback, control tasks.
• [Tentatively] implement some set of tcp options negotiation scripts.

> *Re-write the previous prototype, using the controlling structures of TCP.

• done, George(the project mentor) suggested use unittest and I accepted, no doubt.
• I elicited every structure used in tcp and ip, and trought analisys I decided to make a simple tcb using a lot of dictionaries*, making high scalable and easy to understand.
• The use of unittest was wonderful, I used setUp method* to make my simple tcb and the major enhancement was the creation of a set of assertions, eg. assertSyn, assertSequencePresent, assertEspectedSequence, so on..

• dictionaries* = structure used in python, like java maps. Its works using key:value principle.
  • . code example:
  • . tcb.port = {here:58635, there:9} #9=discard
  • . tcp.sport=tcb.port[here]
  • . tcp.dport=tcb.port[there]

• setUp method* = method used to set up the test that will be invoked. Connect with mysql for instance.

• done.

> *[Tentatively] implement some set of tcp options negotiation scripts.

• unfortunately no.

• The use of unittest. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-unittest.html
• Creation of assertions and tcb

• create new release
• implement some set of tcp options negotiation test scripts.
• make a summary, submit the sources, feedback, control tasks

• The latest pcs version don't work in my environment, yet! :|

• unittest is ideal to prototype development
