Demonstrate Network Understanding Through Traffic Analysis and Implementation

8 weeks · 0 milestones

Capture real network traffic from your own machine using Wireshark (your IP address must be visible in the capture file), implement a working TCP client/server from scratch using raw sockets (not a framework), and write a report explaining how your specific captured traffic maps to each layer of the protocol stack. The report must explain what each packet header field means in the context of your capture — not as a textbook definition. Proof: the capture file, the working code, and the report reviewed by a CS lecturer or network engineer who provides a previously-unseen packet capture and asks you to diagnose what is happening at each protocol layer.
