Summary: This course is a laboratory course in which you will familiarize yourself with network processors and a specific network processing platform, Intel's IXP1200. In the first 7 weeks of the course, we will be guiding you through lab modules that demonstrate the capabilities of the platform. This will be followed by a 3-week final project that you will propose and implement. Final projects may range from completing several of the laboratories not covered in the course to a novel network device of your own.
Equipment: The classroom contains 8
IXP1200 workstations courtesy of generous donations from Intel. You
will be working in pairs throughout the quarter to complete the
laboratories assigned.
Grading: We will be grading based on
demonstrated completion of laboratories and projects.
