# Lab: P2P
**Due:** Wednesday, December 10th by 11:59pm  
**Late Deadline:** Wednesday, December 17th by 11:59pm

## Q&A
**What can we send through sockets?**  
You can transmit any bytes you want, whether they are individual characters or the bytes that make up a struct filled with all different types of data.
The one thing you probably don't want to transmit is a **pointer**, since that pointer is only valid in the address space of the process that created it.

# Project
**Presentations:** Thursday, December 18th during final exam time  
**Implementation Due:** Friday, December 19th by 5pm *(college-mandated deadline)*

Keep in touch with your project groups, and make sure you're prioritizing tasks that help you cover course concepts.

# Project: Presentations

## When will we present?
Presentations are scheduled for Thursday, December 18th.  
  **Morning Section:** 9am–noon  
  **Afternoon Section:** 2–5pm

## How long do we have?
You'll have ten minutes, plus a few minutes for Q&A as the next group sets up.

## What will the presentation order be?
Random, unless you want to volunteer to go first.

## Other Logistics
Please plan to present using the MathLAN computer at the front of class to minimize switching time.
Talk to me ahead of time if that won't work for your project so we can test your setup.

# Project: Presentation Evaluation
Your presentations will be evaluated via the following criteria:

1. **Be here to present:** 10 points

2. **Introduce your project and its goals:** 15 points

3. **Tell us about your three concepts:** 15 points

4. **Describe implementation details and at least one challenge:** 15 points

5. **Give a demo:** 15 points

6. **Give an organized, clear, and accurate presentation:** 30 points

You can still give a "demo" if your system isn't working. Show us what's supposed to happen with screenshots, illustrations, etc.
