This project will implement a file transfer protocol over ATM.
Stage 1: Implement a simple file transfer protocol over ATM, assuming that the layer below gives you all the services of a transport layer. Test what is the maximum rate that you can achieve.
Stage 2: Use the current FTP daemon to perform the file transfer. This means that you will write a new daemon that will need to communicate with the current FTP daemon. On the client side you will have to make a minor modification so that the client will communicate with the daemon that you created. (For this you will have to read and understand the client of the FTP protocol.)
Stage 3: Make the FTP daemon that you created be able to process many applications.
Summary Test and see what is the maximum transfer rate that you can achieve using your FTP compared to running FTP using Classical IP over ATM.
Test it in an environment with a few such transport layers.
