Practical Exercises

1. Learn to use commands like tcpdump, netstat, ifconfig, nslookup and traceroute. Capture ping and trace route PDUs using a network protocol analyzer and examine.
2. Write a HTTP web client program to download a web page using TCP sockets.
3. Applications using TCP sockets like: a) Echo client and echo server b) Chat
4. Simulation of DNS using UDP sockets.
5. Use a tool like Wireshark to capture packets and examine the packets
6. Write a code simulating ARP /RARP protocols.
7. Study of Network simulator (NS) and Simulation of Congestion Control Algorithms using NS.
8. Study of TCP/UDP performance using Simulation tool.
9. Simulation of Distance Vector/ Link State Routing algorithm.
10. Simulation of an error correction code (like CRC)
