Networking Fundamentals

Task 1 – Client/Server Communication

Use Packet Tracer to illustrate the communication processes between servers and clients.

P1. Illustrate the communication processes between servers and clients.

Task 2 – Process ID (PID)

Use task manager to compare parent process and child process.

P2. Compare parent process and child process, PID and PPID.

Task 3 – Client/Server PID

Use Wireshark to recognize the parent process and child process communication between clients and servers.

M1. Recognize parent process and child process in a communication record (such as the records obtained by Wireshark) between servers and clients.

Task 4 – Communication Model

Use a Packet Tracer to design a simple communication model to get a parent process and child process.

M2. Design a model composed of parent process and child process to realize a simple function.

Task 5 – Application Layer

Examine three protocols concepts and functions at Application Layer.

P3. Examine the concepts and functions of several Application Layer protocols.

Task 6 – Wireshark Deployment

Use Wireshark software and deploy two different interfaces to perform different tasks.

P4. Operate Wireshark software, and recognize the different windows in the Wireshark interface.

Task 7 – Client/Server Application Protocols

Deploy three protocols at Application Layer to illustrate the communication processes between client/server system.

M3. Illustrate the communication processes of Application Layer protocols based on the client/server system.

Task 8 – Analyse Communication

Use Wireshark to analyze the captured communication records based on Application Layer protocols.

M4. Analyze communication records captured from the internet based on Application Layer protocols.

Task 9 – Design a Functional Model

Use Packet Tracer to design a realistic function model in real life using an Application Layer protocol.

D1. Design a realistic model to realize a function in real life using an Application Layer protocol.
