Computer Networks Laboratory detailed syllabus for Information Technology (IT) for 2019 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna Universities official website and presented for the IT students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Information Technology 5th Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit IT 5th Sem 2019 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of computer networks laboratory is as follows.

Course Objective:

• To explore various network commands in different operating systems.
• To understand and practice the configuration of various network devices.
• To implement functionalities using raw sockets.
• To understand and implement the network programming concepts using APIs.
• To explore the various network simulators for analysing network behaviour.

Exercises:

1. Practice different network commands available in Windows and Linux Operating Systems and troubleshoot the network.
2. Configure the network devices such as Router, Switch, Hub, Bridge and Repeater.
3. Write socket programs to simulate the operation of the following application layer protocols:
   1. HTTP
   2. FTP
   3. DNS
   4. SMTP and POP3
4. Simulate ECHO and CHAT applications using the following transport layer protocols:
   1. TCP
   2. UDP
5. Implement the functionality of Ping and traceroute commands using raw sockets.
6. Analysing the Network traffic using Packet Analyser (Wireshark) and understanding the various protocol headers.
7. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for a network using static and dynamic approaches (SLAAC and DHCP).
8. Configure Dynamic Routing mechanism using RIP and OSPF protocols.
9. Simulate TCP congestion control mechanism using NS2/NS3/OPNET.
10. Performance analysis of Network using NS2/NS3/OPNET (Delay, Bandwidth etc.)

Course Outcome:

On completion of the course, the student will be able to:

1. Configure various networking devices.
2. Understand the nuances of various network programming APIs and protocols of application layer protocols.
3. Program with raw sockets for network protocol implementation.
4. Configure IP addressing and routing for a network.
5. Understand the behaviour of TCP for congestion via simulation.
6. Work with network simulators.
