Roles and Responsibility and Phase 1 Documentation – Streaming from Streamer PC to Client PC

We did the roles and responsibility on ms excel but not sure is in the correct track as we know this roles and responsibility is to show what each of member have to contribute and responsible in a team. So we follow the schedule from the project plan to the ms excel, in the ms excel we will be showing that who did what in this project by a symbol "#" for this "#" we only did half of it, we will be posting it when our mentor Mr Lam agree on it that what we follow on the project plan schedule.

The SHARK!

Yesterday, Tuesday 10.12-10, it was a day of research and tests. I looked up on Wireshark and found many ways to retrieve out graphs measuring jitter, throughput and delay. I read about RTP on Wireshark's wiki page and found that Wireshark needed an additional installations, like RTPtools and Java Media Framework(JMF), but realised that it was Wiresharks's method to draw out the above. I played around with Wireshark and on the preference, i applied the Display Hidden Protocols which were not necessary. I went over to Thomas's lab to help him in the RACI Matrix before heading for lunch.

When i came back from lunch, i went to the Computers allocated to us for testing and realised that someone had found out the graph for the jitter, soon later i found out that Peng Chin was that someone. I learn from her how to reach the graph. Our Supervisor, Mr Lam came to look for us at the lab with the Glass Door.

After Mr Lam left, i went to take the IP video camera to continue testing on retrieving the Live feed to VLC Media Player. As the testing continues, we have yet to find the solution. We will continue to retrieve it later today.
