+# Find the room where Metahub/DC++ is hosted
+
+## Background
+
+Metahub is a Direct Connect (DC) Hub for IIT Kharagpur. 
+It is a private hub and can only be accessed from within the IIT Kharagpur network. Users can connect to this hub using DC clients and share files at high speeds. 
+DC++ is a free and open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used for connecting to the Direct Connect network.
+
+## What you need to do:
+
+Install and configure the DC++ client and connect to the Hub address: dc.metakgp.org (Over institute wifi/LAN).
+Try to find where Metahub is hosted on campus, you don't have to find the exact room but try to narrow it down as much as possible
+Create a presentation that includes the following, but can go beyond this:
+
+- Documentation of your entire process, motivation and reasoning on the steps you followed to find and narrow down the hub's location, and any challenges you faced.
+- Explaining new concepts you came across while working on this task (things like P2P networks, PtokaX etc.)
+- Your understanding of the underlying technology and protocols involved in running the hub.

+- [subnets list](add link here)
+- [A guide on Networking Concepts](https://beej.us/guide/bgnet0/html/split/index.html)
+
+## Technical Prerequisites:
+
+Some basic knowledge of networking concepts required
+
+## Learning goals:
+
+- Explore and understand the underlying networking concepts and technology involved in running the DC Hub.
+- Apply these learnings to solve a real world task
