Labs

1. Intro to Networks and Wireshark

• Intro to using Wireshark and its various features
• Analyzing PCAP packets and the various headers within packets

2. Intro to CClient and Server

• Intro to Project 2
• Implementing a basic TCP client and server with the goal of creating a chat network

3. Intro to RCopy and Server

• Intro to Project 3
• Implementing a basic UDP client and server with the goal of implementing a file transfer system

Projects

1. Trace

• A program that outputs protocol header information for a number of different types of headers
• Header types include: PCAP Packets, Ethernet Type II, ARP, IPv4, TCP, ICMP, and UDP

2. CCLient and Server

• A client and server written in C that comunicate using TCP and a custom packet implementation.
• The server can accept connections from multiple clients, and route packets to and from clients appropriately.
• The server keeps track of all connected clients using a dynamic hashing table combined with a liked list such that searching for user info is always O(1).
• Clients use commands to send messages, multicast messages, and broadcasts, and the client may also request user info from the server.

3. RCopy and Server

• A client and server written in C using UDP and a custom send/recv implementation.
• The server can accept connections from multiple rcopy clients using child sub-processies.
• The server recieves files and stores them locally, allowing for clients to request the files at a later date.
