CS 432: Networks and Data Communications

Technology Research Assignment

Date: April 20, 2022

PART A: LITERATURE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT

TASK

This will be based on selected topics in Networks and Data Communications. The essence of this
assignment is to enable students to explore relevant contemporary networking issues on their own,
which otherwise would not have been covered due to time and other constraints. It also inculcates
the attitude of researching technology issues in students and prepares them to meet real-life
situations which may require them to learn about totally new and emerging technologies and make
presentations on them and use them in live networks. All presentation slides from the class (various
teams) will be shared with the class to be used as a learning resource.

Guidelines on Giving Effective Presentations
A good technical presentation has the following properties:
 Good organization
o At the most basic level, you need an introduction, the body, and a conclusion
 Appropriate technical content, delivered at the appropriate depth and in a clear and
concise manner
o When you are delivering a talk to a technical audience (like to our class) the
audience wants and needs to know the technical details of your work in order to
fully understand and assess your work.  This is the “meat” of your presentation —
don’t leave it out! Make it absolutely clear what work is your own, and what you
are leveraging from others (e.g. libraries you are using)
o Obviously, you need to take into consideration the time available in deciding the
appropriate depth
o The fact that you are providing technical details does not mean you should lose
the audience in jargon.  Think about how to present the work for the audience to
understand.  The next point can be helpful in this regard.
 Useful and high quality visual aids
o Your slides should well organized, attractive, and make appropriate use of images,
figures, and text.  Convey the most important information and avoid excessive
text.
o Use appropriate visual aids to help convey technical details: images, graphs,
diagrams, charts, images, even animations. The use of videos is also sometimes
helpful.
o Avoid visual distractions: animated text and special effects are usually distracting
and unnecessary
o Ensure consistency in your slides: titles, font sizes, etc.  Ensure that any items in a
bulleted list are grammatically consistent and also use consistent punctuation.
E.g. You can have a list of nouns, a list of adjectives, a list of verbs, a list of
phrases, or a list of sentences.  You should not have a list in which some items are
nouns and other are sentences, or in which some items end with a period (full-
stop) and others don’t. 
o Number your slides to make it easy for a member of the audience to refer to a
specific slide when asking a question.
 Well-rehearsed but natural delivery
o Think ahead of time about who is presenting what, what you want to say on each
slide and how you want to say it, and practice!
o Do not read from your phone!
o Although your presentation should be well-rehearsed, you should deliver it in as
natural a manner as possible, well-paced, with appropriate pauses in speech, not
memorized and recited.
o Practice and ensure that you can give the presentation in the alloted time without
rushing but still conveying all the information you need to convey.

Part B: WIRESHARK

Wireshark NAT trace for Examinations

Open the NAT_home_side file and answer the following questions. You might find it useful
to use a Wireshark filter so that only frames containing HTTP messages are displayed from
the trace file.
1. What is the IP address of the client?
2. The client actually communicates with several different Google servers in order to
implement “safe browsing.” (See extra credit section at the end of this lab). The main
Google server that will serve up the main Google web page has IP address
64.233.169.104. In order to display only those frames containing HTTP messages
that are sent to/from this Google, server, enter the expression “http && ip.addr ==
64.233.169.104” (without quotes) into the Filter: field in Wireshark .
3. Consider now the HTTP GET sent from the client to the Google server (whose IP
address is IP address 64.233.169.104) at time 7.102967. What are the source and
destination IP addresses and TCP source and destination ports on the IP datagram
carrying this HTTP GET?
4. At what time is the corresponding 200 OK HTTP message received from the Google
server? What are the source and destination IP addresses and TCP source and
destination ports on the IP datagram carrying this HTTP 200 OK message?
5. Recall that before a GET command can be sent to an HTTP server, TCP must first set
up a connection using the three-way SYN/ACK handshake. At what time is the client-
13
 to-server TCP SYN segment sent that sets up the connection used by the GET sent at
time 7.102967? What are the source and destination IP addresses and source and
destination ports for the TCP SYN segment? What are the source and destination IP
addresses and source and destination ports of the ACK sent in response to the SYN.
At what time is this ACK received at the client? . (Note: to find these segments you
will need to clear the Filter expression you entered above in step 2. If you enter the
filter “tcp”, only TCP segments will be displayed by Wireshark).

In the following we’ll focus on the two HTTP messages (GET and 200 OK) and the TCP SYN
and ACK segments identified above. Our goal below will be to locate these two HTTP
messages and two TCP segments in the trace file (NAT_ISP_side) captured on the link
between the router and the ISP. Because these captured frames will have already been
forwarded through the NAT router, some of the IP address and port numbers will have been
changed as a result of NAT translation.

Open the NAT_ISP_side. Note that the time stamps in this file and in NAT_home_side are not
synchronized since the packet captures at the two locations shown in Figure 1 were not
started simultaneously. (Indeed, you should discover that the timestamps of a packet
captured at the ISP link is actually less that the timestamp of the packet captured at the
client PC).
6. In the NAT_ISP_side trace file, find the HTTP GET message was sent from the client
to the Google server at time 7.102967 (where t=7.102967 is time at which this was
sent as recorded in the NAT_home_side trace file). At what time does this message
appear in the NAT_ISP_side trace file? What are the source and destination IP
addresses and TCP source and destination ports on the IP datagram carrying this
HTTP GET (as recording in the NAT_ISP_side trace file)? Which of these fields are the
same, and which are different, than in your answer to question 3 above?
7. Are any fields in the HTTP GET message changed? Which of the following fields in
the IP datagram carrying the HTTP GET are changed: Version, Header Length, Flags,
Checksum. If any of these fields have changed, give a reason (in one sentence)
stating why this field needed to change.
8. In the NAT_ISP_side trace file, at what time is the first 200 OK HTTP message
received from the Google server? What are the source and destination IP addresses
and TCP source and destination ports on the IP datagram carrying this HTTP 200 OK
message? Which of these fields are the same, and which are different than your
answer to question 4 above?
9. In the NAT_ISP_side trace file, at what time were the client-to-server TCP SYN
segment and the server-to-client TCP ACK segment corresponding to the segments
in question 5 above captured? What are the source and destination IP addresses
and source and destination ports for these two segments? Which of these fields are
the same, and which are different than your answer to question 5 above?

Figure 4.22 in the text shows the NAT translation table in the NAT router.

14
 10. Using your answers to 1-8 above, fill in the NAT translation table entries for HTTP
connection considered in questions 1-8 above. Answer:

NAT translation table

WAN side LAN side

Extra Credit: The trace files investigated above have additional connections to Google
servers above and beyond the HTTP GET, 200OK request/response studied above. For
example, in the NAT_home_side trace file, consider the client-to-server GET at time
1.573215, and the GET at time 7.573305. Research the use of these two HTTP messages
and write a half page explanation of the purpose of each of these messages.

PART C: CISCO PACKET TRACER PROJECT

Project Title: Smart Home Automation System

Project Description:

In this project, we will simulate a smart home automation system using Cisco Packet Tracer. The
system will consist of various IoT devices such as smart bulbs, smart switches, and a smart
thermostat. The devices will be connected to a local Wi-Fi network and controlled by a
smartphone app.

Many of us are away from our homes throughout the day, whether for work or running errands.
Some of us usually spend a day out or even leave our house unaccounted for a few days, leaving
our electronic appliances without monitoring or control. And due to human errors, we sometimes
leave devices plugged into the power sockets, and some devices need to work automatically
depending on the environment. All devices need individual attention from time to time to
operate. If some devices are not operated properly could consume electricity causing higher bills
or damage/ harm the room environment. So, I propose to design an internet-based home
automation system that will enable us to manage our appliances from anywhere around the world
remotely.

Project Steps:

Step 1: Set up the network Create a network topology in Packet Tracer consisting of a Wi-Fi
router, several IoT devices (smart bulbs, switches, and a thermostat), and a smartphone.

Step 2: Configure the network Configure the Wi-Fi router with an SSID and password.
Configure the IoT devices to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Configure the smartphone with the
app to control the IoT devices.

Step 3: Set up the smart bulbs and switches Configure the smart bulbs and switches to respond to
commands from the smartphone app. Configure the switches to turn the bulbs on and off.
Configure the bulbs to change colors and brightness levels.

Step 4: Set up the smart thermostat Configure the smart thermostat to respond to temperature
changes in the room. Configure the thermostat to adjust the temperature automatically based on
pre-set preferences.

Step 5: Test the system Test the system by controlling the IoT devices from the smartphone app.
Test the smart thermostat by changing the temperature and observing its response.

Step 6: Add additional features Add additional features to the system, such as voice control or
scheduling of the IoT devices.

Platform/Environment and Software/Hardware Requirements

Home Automation is a wireless home automation system that is supposed to be implemented in
existing home environments without any changes in the infrastructure. Home Automation lets
the user control the home from his or her computer and assignations that should happen
depending on time or other sensor readings such as light, temperature, or sound from any device
in the Home Automation network.

Concepts of Data Communications and Networks covered in the project include the
following:

1) ISP setting
2) Configuring servers for a remote device like a laptop
3) Connecting all home devices
4) Home gateway with multiple smart things connected
5) IoE server that provides IoT functionalities
6) IoT Functionalities to use as much as required

Functional Features

Home automation can help us:-

a) by remotely monitoring and controlling our appliances.
b) by improving home safety
c) by alerting any emergency
d) by saving and utilizing proper electricity according to the requirement.

Conclusion

Earlier home automation was powered using a supply and an Arduino chip, various sensors and
relay modules by creating an autonomous circuit that changes the environment. Arduino is an
open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Unlike most previous programmable
circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in
order to load new code onto the board.
With this project, we have successfully simulated a smart home automation system using
Cisco Packet Tracer. This system can be used to automate various tasks and improve the
efficiency and comfort of a home.
