PROJECT WORK

Implement a router buffer Implemented a router buffer by writing a software tool (using Matlab)
that simulated the arrival and departure rates to/from the router. Examined different scenarios, with
different input/output rates and queue sizes on the implemented router buffer.
Experimental Evaluation of Bandwidth Estimation tools for Multicast/broadcast traffic This
project involved setting up a small LAN network in the lab and measuring the multicast/broadcast
bandwidth using bandwidth estimation tools like path chirp, path load and iptraf (available by default of
Unix systems) and comparing it with the equivalent bandwidth calculation.
