Sample Problem

Develop a simple chat room application that uses Sockets. Application is not 2
expected to work across Network Address Translation, i.e., your application should
work when all the users are in the Labs, but it doesn’t need to work when some users 2
are in the Labs and others are using the University Wi-Fi. As well as the IP address,
you need to pick a port number to create a Socket. Use a standard security technology
2,5
for establishing an encrypted link between the server and the clients. The lower port
numbers are all reserved for special functions (e.g. port 80 for web servers, port 22 5
for SSH). So, use a high port number for your program, i.e., something greater than
3000.

Assume the lab involves eight routers and four hubs.

 The goal of this lab is to observe how the dynamic routing protocols, RIP,
OSPF and BGP, will work. Observe the different types of packets used by the
RIP, OSPF and BGP protocols.
 Observe how the routing tables are dynamically modified, and eventually find
the shortest path to all machines.
 Add one more router to provide a better path and observe how the routing
tables adapt to the change.
 “Break” the topology and observe the change again.
 Add one more router to observe the count-to-infinity problem when using the
RIP protocol.
 Observe as the OSPF protocol floods the link state information of each router
across the whole network.
 Observe the modification in the link state database of the routers when there
is a break in the ring topology.
