Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Based on the knowledge obtained in this course and previous coursework, you
will examine a topic relevant to computer networking based on theory and practice. You are expected to identify a particular topic relevant to
computer networks, investigate the topic through extensive literature search and deep synthesis, and produce a scholarly paper. You should discuss
specific research interests with the instructor so there is agreement on the suitability of the project. Make sure to include topics discussed
throughout this course. One of the following project types is acceptable for this course:
1. Exploratory investigation of a topic: The student will carry out an extensive examination of a network problem through literature review,
analysis, and concept synthesis. Topics to consider are network monitoring, mapping, security, or configuration.
2. Evaluation of a network: The student will conduct an evaluation of a network he or she has regular access to. The student will evaluate the
network’s infrastructure, performance, availability, management, and security.
