Course objectives
The goal of the exercise si to give students enrolled to the PB156 Computer Networks course an opportunity to get direct hands-on experience with network protocols and their use.
Learning outcomes
The primary output follows those of PB156, but extending the presentations with direct use of the presented materials. The graduates will get practical experience with building simply networks, analysis the traffic, understanding most of the protocols presented in lectures through actually building them and-or following them over the built network.
Syllabus
  • Introduction, getting acquainted with Wireshark, the packet sniffing suite. Practical experience with HTTP, differences between protocols, simple get, put, retrieval of longer protocols, simple authentication DNS, dns lookup, ipconfig, dns tracing TCP protocol, analysis of TCP packets, TCP congestion control UDP protocol, analysis of UDP packets IP protocol, analysis of IP packets, packet fragmentation, ICMP Ethernet and ARP, Ethernet frames, ARP caching DHCP protocol, packets analysis, setting up a DHCP server (The structure is inspired and to large extent follows the Wireshark Laboratory of Kurose and Ross)
Teaching methods
Hands-on laboratories, with eventual homework assignments
Assessment methods
Laboratories are mandatory, at most 2 could be skipped. A short protocol will be required from each part of the laboratories, the submitted protocols are a conditions for fulfilling requirements
Language of instruction
Czech
