WHAT I’VE DONE
Jan 2020 - Dec 2020
Master Project
Simulation of link aggregation in the structure of data center networks (DCN’S)
Technology:- OPNET, GNS3, Cisco Packet Tracer, Wireshark,
WEKA
In this project we implement the LACP protocol on a fat tree architecture which comprises of 8 server, 16 server and servers.
Moreover, the proposed planning is to implement deep learning protocol on the each link where LACP is applied for automatic conversion from P2P connection to LACP connection.
Feb 2020 - May 2020
Broadband Communication
Simulation of a Small Scale SDN-Based Cloud Data Center
Technology:- Wireshark, Mininet, Linux, VirtualBox,
SDN Controller
In this project we implement various an SDN data center such as Fully connected topology, Switch only topology etc. using Mininet and OPEN DAYLIGHT remote controller and Open Flow reference controller.
For this we implemented the topology ranging from 2 server racks to 4 server racks, core and aggregate swithces and a SDN controller
Feb 2020 - May 2020
Network Security
Various challenges in Network Security domain from CTF codepath and security shepherd.
Technology:- SQL, Burpsuite, Kali Linux
In this project we learned various aspects of flaws in a system. We learned about User authentication, Password Management, SQL injection, Cross Site Reference Forgery etc.
Captured Several Flags from both CTF codepath by facebook competition and Security Shepherd.
Sep 2019 - Oct 2019
VOIP communication
Voice over IP Using SIP protocol
Technology:- Wireshark, Asterisk, Linux, VMware
In this project we learned about the working of SIP protocol and Asterisk server.
Creation of a working/live SIP server and successfully establishing a
call between 2,3,4... number of clients. Peer to Peer connection and also Conference Calling with call hold feature
Feb 2019 - Mar 2019
Linear System Theory
Designing a Band Pass Filter in Matlab
Technology:- MATLAB by Mathworks
