8. 8Applications using TCP Sockets like a. Echo client and echo server b. Chat c. File Transfer
9. 9Applications using TCP and UDP Sockets like d. DNS e. SNMP f. File Transfer
10. 10Study of Network simulator (NS).and Simulation of Congestion Control Algorithms using NS
11. 11Perform a case study about the different routing algorithms to select the network path with its optimum and economical during data transfer. i. Link State routing ii. Flooding iii. Distance vector
12. 12To learn handling and configuration of networking hardware like RJ-45 connector, CAT-6 cable, crimping tool, etc.
13. 13Configuration of router, hub, switch etc. (using real devices or simulators)
14. 14Running and using services/commands like ping, traceroute, nslookup, arp, telnet, ftp, etc.
15. 15Network packet analysis using tools like Wireshark, tcpdump, etc.
16. 16Network simulation using tools like Cisco Packet Tracer, NetSim, OMNeT++, NS2, NS3, etc.
17. 17Socket programming using UDP and TCP (e.g., simple DNS, data & time client/server, echo client/server, iterative & concurrent servers)
18. Note: The Instructor may add/delete/modify/tune experiments, wherever he/she feels in a justified manner It is also suggested that open source tools should be preferred to conduct the lab ( C , C++ , Java , NS3, Mininet, Opnet, TCP Dump, Wireshark etc.
