The first checkpoint not only intends to test the basic interactions between a STANDALONE server and routing daemon, it also provides you with a couple of useful scripts based on which you can develop your own test scripts IN THE FUTURE. The tar file includes the following utilities:

-- checkpoint1.rb: main test script for checkpoint 1. 

-- irc.rb: ruby implementation of the IRC server class. It is required by checkpoint1.rb. You can use this script for your own testing.

-- rdaemon.rb: ruby implementation of the routing daemon class. It is required by checkpoint1.rb. You can use this script for your own testing.

-- srouted: routing daemon binary. (It should work!)

-- test_rdaemon.rb: script to test a standalone routing daemon. This is not used for checkpoint 1; however it will be useful when you are working on your routing daemon.

Enjoy!
