Group12_ChaarMusafirs : Protocol Stack and addressing

Our project will describe the several protocols in details, and put forth comparisons (for eg. With the OSI reference model) Our goal is to analyze data from a live network or from a capture file on disk, and examine details of the packets transmitted and the protocols used. Our program of choice for the network analysis is Wireshark(formerly ethereal) and N map. We plan to host dummy networks, and transfer files, download torrents, P2P programs and host game servers which will be then be monitored by these tools. Also, our project will delve into the details of how Ipv4, Ipv6 addresses are assigned over the network, how the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used for finding a host's link layer (hardware) address/MAC address. and how through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point, with respect to local networks/Routers (we will use Linkysys WRT54AG router for testing) and even the Internet as a whole.
