6. Implement and simulate algorithm for Distance Vector Routing protocol or Link State Routing protocol.*

7. Implement Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

8. Implement File Transfer Protocol.*

9. Implement congestion control using a leaky bucket algorithm.*

10. Understanding the Wireshark tool.*

11. Design and configure a network with multiple subnets with wired and wireless LANs using required network devices. Configure commonly used services in the network.*

Networking Lab-Practice Questions

1. 

a) View the configuration, including addresses of your computers network interfaces.

b) Test the network connectivity between your computer and several other computers.

c) View the active TCP connections in the computer after visiting a website.

d) Find the hardware/MAC address of another computer in the network using ARP.

2. Write the system calls used for creating sockets and transferring data between two nodes.

3. 

a) Implement a multi-user chat server using TCP as transport layer protocol.

b) Implement a simple web proxy server that accepts HTTP requests and forwarding to remote servers and returning data to the client using TCP

4. Implement a Concurrent Time Server application using UDP to execute the program at a remote server. Client sends a time request to the server, server sends its system time back to the client. Client displays the result.

5. 

a) Implement Stop-and-Wait ARQ flow control protocol.

b) Implement Go-Back--N ARQ flow control protocol.

c) Implement Selective Repeat ARQ flow control protocol.

6. Implement Distance Vector Routing algorithm or Link State Routing algorithm..

7. Implement Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

8. Develop a concurrent file server which will provide the file requested by a client if it exists. If not, the server sends appropriate message to the client. Server should also send its process ID (PID) to clients for display along with the file or the message.

9. Implement leaky bucket algorithm for congestion control.

10. a) Using Wireshark, Capture packets transferred while browsing a selected website. Investigate the protocols used in each packet, the values of the header fields and the size of the packet.

b) Using Wireshark, observe three way handshaking connection establishment, three way handshaking connection termination and Data transfer in client server communication using TCP.

c) Explore at least the following features of Wireshark: filters, Flow graphs (TCP), statistics, and protocol hierarchies.

11. Design and configure a network (wired and wireless LANs) with multiple subnets using required network devices. Configure at least three of the following services in the network- TELNET, SSH, FTP server, Web server, File server, DHCP server and DNS server.

12. a) The network consists of TCP source node (n0) and destination node (n1) over an area size of 500m x 500m. Node (n0) uses Agent/TCP/Reno as the sending TCP agent and FTP traffic source. Node (n1) is the receiver of FTP transfers, and it uses Agent/TCP sink as its TCP-agent for the connection establishment. Run the simulation for 150 seconds and show the TCP window size in two static nodes scenario with any dynamic routing protocol. Run the script and analyze the output graph for the given scenario.

b) Simulate the transmission of ping messages over a star network topology consisting of ‘n’ nodes and find the number of packets dropped due to congestion using NS2simulator.

c) Simulate Link State Protocol or Distance Vector Routing protocol in NS2.

Stop and Wait ARQ

Here's a simple C program that demonstrates the Stop-and-Wait ARQ protocol. This basic implementation simulates the sender transmitting packets one at a time and waiting for an acknowledgment from the receiver. If the acknowledgment is not received, the sender retransmits the packet. Key Points: The sender sends one packet at a time. If the receiver acknowledges it (ACK), the sender sends the next packet. If the acknowledgment is lost, the sender retransmits after a timeout. C Program: Stop-and-Wait ARQ Simulation #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h>  // for sleep() #define TIMEOUT 3  // Timeout duration in seconds #define TOTAL_PACKETS 5  // Number of packets to send int simulate_acknowledgment() {     // Simulate a 70% chance of successful acknowledgment     return rand() % 10 < 7; } int main() {     srand(time(0));  // Seed for random number generation     i...

Server/Client Communication-python

The basic mechanisms of client-server setup are: A client app send a request to a server app.  The server app returns a reply.  Some of the basic data communications between client and server are: File transfer - sends name and gets a file.  Web page - sends url and gets a page.  Echo - sends a message and gets it back.  Client server communication uses socket.              To connect to another machine, we need a socket connection. What's a connection?  A relationship between two machines, where two pieces of software know about each other. Those two pieces of software know how to communicate with each other. In other words, they know how to send bits to each other. A socket connection means the two machines have information about each other, including network location (IP address) and TCP port. (If we can use anology, IP address is the phone number and the TCP port is the extension).  A so...
