How To Start Project Of A Network System

What project can be made on system and networking using python with socket programming?

A lot of things can be done on socket programming. Study about Error Detection CRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check), VRC(Vertical Redundancy Check), LRC(Longitudinal Redundancy Check).You can implement these things in Socket Programming.I have explained well in this article where I implemented CRC with Socket Programming do check this.Cyclic Redundancy Check in Python - GeeksforGeeksIf you want to learn about Socket Programming here is Python code link for Client side code.Server side codeYou can implement various operations like data reverse on server side and sent it back to client.For multi-Threading in Socket Programming, I made a Grocery Store Program where client will choose grocery items and server will total the grocery items and display the billing.Code link: Multi-ThreadingYou may do the same for a Book Store. It all depends on your creativity.I have given some examples and help links where you can learn and apply things.Here is my Repo Link it has proper ReadMe if you find things useful do star my repo: shauryauppal/Socket-Programming-Python#HappyCoding

What is a better option: a project on network system design at IIITDM Chennai or algorithm at my college NIT Durgapur?

Hey, I know its too late to reply but this might help someone else in future. :)Quality and quantity of learning in a project depends on the professor under who, you are going to take up the project. Open the Institute's website, check the professors for NSD in IIITDM and Algorithm in NITDurgapur, their publications till date and conferences they have attended, number of PhD scholars under them. Looking at these details will result an inclination towards one of the projects.And of course, be concerned about your own interest and prospects of a career path in each area available as a choice.

How do I start my project on network monitoring?

1.First you have to understand the landscape/big picture of network monitoring2. Here’s my broader categorisation of network monitoring1.WAN & WAN optimisation2.LAN (data and voice vlans)3. Infra Network (DHCP, DNS, Proxy,wpad)4. Internet5. Wireless6.VPN & Firewall7.Software defined network (SDN) - hot in market3. Pick one of the categories above and define your use-case for the chosen area4. Typical use- cases are1. Device availability and performance monitoring2. Configuration monitoring3. Environmental health monitoring4.Quality of Service monitoringThough the above content appears very high-level, googling each of the item will get you more clarity on the project

How do I build a good project on networking?

A good way to learn about networking is to build a multi-threaded chat server and client, usually you will find this project in network classes. It is a simple project, yet you will learn a lot from it. The architecture is simple, a server which listens for clients on a specific portand accepts connections and keeps track of it, you need to keep all connections alive (Hint: use threads), you also need to synchronize the data between the clients and the server, so that all messages are delivered to the intended clients.After you implement a basic chat server with one lobby, you can add a chat room feature, you need to figure out how to represent it on the server, and how to make the client inform the server that it wants to create / join a room. You can also let users participate in multiple rooms needs a little modification.After you are done with rooms you can implement file transfer service.When you have a good understanding of network concepts, you can make your system tolerant to failure, what happens if the server dies? All the clients are gonna be pissed. Maybe you could use a peer to peer network.You can also look into adding encryption, you don't want everyone on the network reading your messages.What you need in order to implement such a project is A basic Introduction to TCP/IPHow will you explain the concept of threads and multi-threading in layman's terms?Understanding Synchronization (computer science) File Transfer ProtocolPeer-to-peerTransport Layer Security And to make good looking clients you need to learn how to build GUIs  Take it slow and learn small part at a time, and use the internet to search for help if you have any problem.

How can I start developing a network management system?

I have been working on a simple NMS system as a personal project, and I have been using several Enterprise NMS products on a daily basis. This is what I learnt.Network is a ln enormous branch of ICT, with a plethora of devices involved. Being able to monitor all of them intelligently requires so much effort that is practically impossible. However, using standard protocols allow you to have a great degree of compatibility with many systems and vendors.Given that preface, you need to assess what​ is the true purpose of your NMS. How is it different from other products? What are its strength and wekanesses? Why would I buy it instead of products from competitors?I give you a few examples. Orion, by Solar Winds, is a generic-purpose tool. It does a lot of things, and it is customizable to a certain degree. You can add extra modules, such as VoIP analysis or Netflow, but its core activity is SNMP polling. Prognosis by IR.com, instead, is focused on VoIP calls quality. It collects calls data from Skype for Business or Cisco UCM and analyzes them. It then reconstruct the path with a traceroute and looks for interface errors in the routers along the path. It can monitor devices via SNMP like Orion, but it does it only as a consequence from the VoIP analysis.So, first define where your product wants to excel. Then, do research to find the best protocols (SNMP, ICMP, Web Services like SOAP or REST etc.) allow the best integration with your target device. Consider implementing SNMP and ICMP anyway, as the user will find handy to have the possibility to add virtually any device to monitor.Investigate what you can fetch with the protocols you have chosen, and how to store them in a database efficiently. Based on that, decide which database to use.Finally, consider the user interface, a web application (my suggestion) or a downloadable client. Find a great language that you are comfortable using for the back end part (interacting with the DB, with devices and elaborating data), and a client-side language as well. Consider also the possibility to generate alerts and send them via emails or SMS, this is a user interface too!You might also want to consider the scalability of your infrastructure. Do you want to have a single server, or maybe multiple decentralized severs? If you want a scalable and distributed systems, then you will need to do more considerations, like how the nodes will interact with each other.

How do I start learning about computer networks?

You can of course go to school for networking, but I'm assuming this question is what you can do on your own to better your knowledge. Much as with other technical skills like programming, photography, or cooking, the best way to learn is by doing!  I would suggest setting up a network and start making it do different things and once you've figured out how to do those things, move on to larger scale projects.  For example, do you know how to setup your home network from scratch via the web interface?  If so, what about from the command line?    What about setting up a port forward manually so you can see something on your computer at home away from home. Attach some storage to your network somehow. Break your network into two parts with different IP schemes and bridge them, networks share a printer, host your own web domain, setup VPN to your home network so you can...  There are limitless opportunites to experiment. Each time you try something new it will be hard and you'll probably break the entire network in the process, but that's where the learning is because when you figure out WHY it broke and HOW to fix it, you've just leveled up!Beyond experimentation with topology there are some very specific things you need to learn in order to make sense of how networks operate and for those I would seek out both books and ask questions on networking forums.  Learn how IP address work.  Why are they assigned the way they are?  Who/what assigns them?Learn and understand why these are all VERY differnet IPs: 192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8. Try to understand subnets and CIDR notation.  What's the difference between a /32 network and a /24, etc.Lastly, and probably most importantly is to learn and be extremely comfortable using linux. the highest end routers are mostly configured using cisco command nomenclature on some form of linux hardware. Use the command line as much as possible!Ultimately there are as many ways to learn about networking as there are people who use networks. Follow your interest and never be afraid to ask why or how.  :)
