Course Description:

The course objectives for Praktikum Telematik include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Learning to architect, develop, and test an example network application based on the TCP/IP network infrastructure.
• Learning to work effectively in a team environment and project-style development.
• Developing your written and oral communication skills in English.
• Becoming proficient with software development tools and networking environments, using standard programming language C/C++/Java/... and tools (such as CVS, Eclipse).
• Integrating everything you have learned in your other computer science courses.

The course is organized as two independent projects, each consisting of two subgroups (each comprises 3~4 people). You have to choose a project and your co-worker by your own. Note, this depends on the number of participants: if there are more than 8 people, then two projects will be conducted; otherwise, only project 1 is required. Before starting your project work, an introduction to socket programming and project related information (e.g., how to read RFCs, what is DHCP, what is DNS, etc) will be given.

Project 1: DHCP implementation
Subgroup 1.1 (3-4 people): client
Subgroup 1.2 (3-4 people): server
Requirements:

• your server should be able to interop with another standard client
• your client should be able to interop with another standard server
• your server should be able to interop with another group's client
• choose and conduct one of the advanced topics from the following: DHCPv6 / measurement / DHCP extensions or optimization
• a final presentation is mandatory
• a project report is mandatory

Reference: RFC 2131, (additional reading: RFC 3315)

Project 2: Simple DNS implementation
Subgroup 2.1 (3-4 people): client
Subgroup 2.2 (3-4 people): server
Requirements:

• you only need to support the following RR types: CNAME, A, NS and SOA
• you don't need to support distributed DNS information
• only need to support the access of DNS using UDP
• choose and conduct one of the advanced topics from the following: adding AAAA as RR type (IPv6) / adding support for distributed DNS / adding your own information to the DNS (e.g., HIP new RR type)
• a final presentation is mandatory
• a project report is mandatory

Reference: RFC 1035, (additional readings: RFC 1034, RFC 3596)

For each project students are required to organize the work effectively according to the streamline of a realistic project, including  milestones (task and time allocation, deliverables) definition, implementation and revision, reports of design, implementation, test results and intermediate results etc. Each project will elect a project leader who should be responsible for directing and regularly reporting the overall progress of the team.
