Hi Krishna,

in order to test the afc support I think you can just run a simple tcp server
(e.g using nc) replying with a 'static' reply from the afc coordinator. Please
find attached the one I used during the development.
Implementing the full logic of the Quicktrack agent is out of the series scope.

Lorenzo
