The Lab 1 report is due by 10 am Tuesday, 1st March . Submission instructions are in the lab spec. Submissions received via email will NOT be entertained. Do also note the requirement to submit a TAR (NOT ZIP) archive. It is easy to create one using the command line tar utility in Linux (VLAB) or on Mac OS. On Windows, you can use 7-zip and on Mac OS you can alternately use Unarchiver . In the lectures, we will wrap up the leftover content from last week (E-mail) and study DNS, Peer to peer applications and socket programming. Slides are available for review. In Lab 2 , we will explore HTTP and learn to use a new tool called Wireshark, a protocol analyzer. We strongly encourage you to install Wireshark on your personal computer (instead of running it through VLAB). It is free and works on all operating systems. Download it here . You will also get your first exposure to socket programming. Sample working client/server programs in C/Java/Python are available under the Week 1 lecture content. Very few students appear to be attempting the homework questions . We strongly encourage everyone to work through these questions on their own. We will post answers for the collated questions (e.g. Introduction Questions). However, the questions marked with " Students to Discuss Solutions " are exclusively left for you to work on. Please post your solutions on the Ed forum. We are happy to provide feedback on your attempts. This should serve as excellent practice for the exams. You can join the Ed Discussion forum via the following link - https://edstem.org/au/join/kABavC An anonymous feedback form is available here in case you wish to leave us some comments. We will try our best to act on your input. A reminder that the mid-term exam will be held on Monday 28th March (Week 7) during regular class hours (11:00 - 13:00 Sydney time). Mark this time in your calendar. The exam will be held online using the Inspera platform. Details to follow Have a good weekend, stay safe and see you in the lectures next week. Week 2: What's Coming up Posted by Salil Kanhere Friday 18 February 2022, 11:45:05 AM. In the Week 2 lectures, we will wrap up our introduction to computer networks (protocol layers) and dive into networked applications (principles, Web/HTTP, Email). Slides are available for review. I have updated the Week 1 slides with answers to the in-lecture quizzes. Labs will commence in Week 2. Please attend the lab class in which you have enrolled as many classes are at full capacity. The link to each lab class is posted on the Labs page. Note that we have a mix of in-person and online labs . For those attending in-person please ensure you follow all covid-safe protocols. Recordings will be available for online labs. You will notice that there are two parallel lab classes, e.g., W11A and W11B. Make sure you attend the correct class as per your UNSW timetable. You are strongly urged to set up access to the VLAB environment prior to the lab . It is not an efficient use of your tutor's time if they have to explain this process to you during the lab. We encourage the use of TigerVNC. Check the instructions here . The first lab exercise is now available. You are strongly urged to read the Tools of the Trade introductory lab prior to the first lab. The first lab report is due by 10 am Tuesday 1st March (Week 3). Submission instructions are in the lab specification. A number of problem-solving questions are accessible on the Homework Questions page. You are strongly encouraged to work through these questions on your own. These are not assessed. We will post answers for the collated questions (e.g. Introduction Questions). However, the questions marked with " Students to Discuss Solutions " are exclusively left for you to work on. We are happy to provide feedback on your attempts, but will not provide ready solutions. Working through these questions will provide good practice for the exams. Please discuss them on the Ed forum.
