Network Design
You can propose new layouts and specifications for large computer networks such as those used by schools, businesses, Internet Service Providers, and datacenters. You can also study the design of existing networks (such as those of your school) and find ways to improve them.
Network Performance
You can measure the performance characteristics of local area network (LAN) and Internet connections under varying conditions:
- creating and/or using software tools that measure average and maximum bandwidth and latency of connections
- measuring performance differences between different types of network hardware (such as routers from different manufacturers) or operating systems (such as between Windows and Linux clients)
- comparing / contrasting the performance of software applications like Web servers
- modifying open source software applications to utilize parallel programming and distributed systems
Network Security
You can propose methods to measure the security level of a computer network setup and/or demonstrate ways that security can be breached:
- creating and/or using network sniffers
- testing the effectiveness of antivirus software to detect network worms (and the performance of this software)
