List of PBL
1. Bandwidth Measurement: Develop a tool to measure the available bandwidth
between two network devices and analyze the results.
2. Network Traffic Analyzer: Build a network traffic analyzer that captures packets on a
network interface and provides insights into the traffic patterns.
3. Network Latency Estimation: Design a system to estimate the latency between two
network hosts and compare different methods for latency measurement.
4. Network Security Scanner: Develop a tool to scan a network for potential security
vulnerabilities, such as open ports, weak passwords, or outdated software.
5. Network Simulation: Create a network simulation using tools like NS-3 or GNS3 to
evaluate the performance of different network protocols or topologies.
6. DNS Resolver: Implement a basic DNS resolver that translates domain names to IP
addresses using the DNS protocol.
7. Network Performance Monitoring: Build a system that continuously monitors the
performance of a network, including metrics like latency, throughput, and packet
loss.
8. Firewall Configuration Analyzer: Develop a tool to analyze the configuration of a
network firewall and provide recommendations for improving security.
9. Network Protocol Analyzer: Create a packet analyzer that captures network packets
and decodes various protocols, allowing for the inspection of network traffic.
10. Network Load Balancer: Implement a load balancer that distributes incoming
network traffic across multiple servers to optimize resource utilization and improve
performance.
