Objective

The broad objective of this lab is to provide hands-on experience with computer networking concepts. The specific objectives of each experiment are listed below:

• Understand the fundamentals of computer networking protocols and their design.
• Analyze data flow across different layers of the OSI and TCP/IP models.
• Explore how network protocols handle collision detection and avoidance mechanisms.
• Learn the concepts of IP addressing, subnetting, and routing algorithms.
• Understand client-server communication using TCP and UDP protocols.
• Study the Domain Name System (DNS) and its role in network communication.
• Evaluate network performance through simulations and interactive experiments.
• Develop practical skills in network analysis and troubleshooting.
