Project Title: Implementation of Efficient Communication Protocol on Sun workstations.
Project Code: MAM3.
On Sun workstations, network protocols (including TCP/IP) are
implemented as STREAMS modules. There also are generic STREAMS
modules, e.g. pfmod, which can be configured in runtime to perform
a specific filtering operation. Student(s) will be provided source
codes of these programs.
The goal of this project is to develop a generic STREAMS module which
can be configured in runtime to implement simple network protocols.
Basically, student is expected to
(1) Understand protocol implementation basics on Sun workstations
(2) Integrate the source code for the TCP/IP STREAMS modules and
a generic STREAMS module, pfmod, which is used for packet filtering.
The final product will be a module which can be configured in runtime
like pfmod and is able to implement simple protocols
(like TCP/IP modules). Such a program will be very valuable to
quickly implement new protocols and test their performance.
