Course Name: Computer Network Laboratory

I. Abstract:The object of the course is to make students familiar with computer networks, especially the wireless networks. The students will design and implement various technologies for the firewall and Mobile IP topics. The following topics will be covered in this course:
(1) Setup a hacker-proof but useful firewall.
(2) Implement the authentication mechanism for the 802.11 network.(3) Implement the Mobile IP and multicast mechanism on the IPv4 network.
(4) Simulate wireless networks by using “Network Simulator - ns-2” simulation tool.

II. Requirement:
(1) Four leading experiments (each of which constitutes 15%) and one term project (which constitutes 20%) will be included in this course. For each experiment and term project, the demonstration and writing report are required, which constitute 60% and 40%, respectively.
(2) The attention rate for the regular meetings held every week (5%)(3) Presentation for a network-related technology (5%)
(4) Final exam (10%)
