CPSC 441:  Protocol Projects
----------------------------

As part of the assignment for Lab 2, will do a little research on an
application-layer protocol.  Each person will do a different protocol.
The assignments were made randomly, by a computer program.

You should investigate the assigned protocol and write a report on it.
The report must be ONE FULL PAGE of text (single-spaced with reasonable
font-size and margins).   The report will be turned along with other
exercises for Lab 2.  The reports will be collected and photocopied
for the whole class.  The collection of reports will be an assigned reading
for the course.

In your report, you should explain what the protocol is used for and say
something about how it is used.  If possible, you should provide some
information about the details of the protocol (the actual communication 
that goes on between client and server).  You should give at least one
reference to further reading.  Try to find the RFC that defines the
protocol.  And provide any other fundamental information that you think
a student of computer networking should know about the protocol.
