Networking Instruction and Research Tool

A suite of networking instructional tools is under development. This project is a joint effort between the author and the initiator, Mr. Mark Vasoll. The project promises to provide a very powerful teaching tool. All of the researchers involved in the project consulted each other concerning the fine points of the design and model. This thesis will present a portion of the project's design and implementation, so that future work can be directed to the uncompleted portions of the project. The scope of the project is large. A complete TOP /IP implementation with user level applications ultimately is planned. The amount of time spent both on the design phase and on the partial implementation should make future work much less time consumming.Computing and Information Science
