Question: Objective: This segment of the project (i.e., Part A of ITSU3009) aims to provide the students an opportunity to carry out in-depth study on a specific emerging area in Networking. The students are expected to do this assignment individually and present their findings in the form of a brief review report.

On completing the assignment students get trained in keeping pace with recent advances through literature review and self development which is an essential skill for any practicing ICT professional since the ICT field evolves rapidly and every ICT professional is expected to pursue life-long learning and self updates.

Duration: The project should take typically 2-3 weeks of study. Students are provided extra time to submit to accommodate for any exigencies.

You should submit your report ON OR BEFORE 22nd Saturday April 2017 midnight (11:59 PM) via Moodle submission link of ITSU3009 Unit.

Project Scope: Select one out of topics listed in Appendix overleaf. Conduct a literature survey and summarise your findings. Write a short report based on the information you collected. The report should be about 1000 words except references, figure and table names and table of contents. A 10% variation in the number of words is permitted.

Your report should summarize your understanding of the chosen topic in your own words. You should not merely copy and paste from other sources. You are required to conduct a literature search over internet, books or journals or product vendor documents; most of which are available over internet in open source in abundance for the topics listed.

You should divide your report into appropriate sections such as Introduction, Body with appropriate sub sections, Conclusion and references. All material referred to prepare the report has to be placed in reference at the end of the report.

If you are in doubt please contact the ITSU3009 Project 2 lecturers/advisors for clarification. However, the study has to be carried out by you based on your own reading and understanding and the unit advisors are permitted only to provide pointers and not actually teach you the technical content.

Contact session for this would be during the timetabled hours weekly.

a. provision virtual servers,

b. set up a firewall

c. scale your infrastructure to meet increasing demand. Summarise and report your findings.

2. Conduct literature survey on topic 'Self-healing IOT sensors'. Carry out a research on the available literature and describe the following:

a. Characteristics of self-healing sensors

b. Metrics involved

c. Processing technology stack for these sensors

d. Eco-system and business values these sensors bring. Summarise and report your findings.

3. Based on a survey of literature and research study, describe and classify the various types of malware. Taking one example briefly highlight the security measures that a network administrator should take to prevent malware based threats.

4. Based on literature survey on the Software Defined Network, define how the OpenFlow communication interface deals with various network devices such as switches, routers, hypervisor and virtual images. Document your findings regarding the factors to be considered while designing OpenFlow protocol and OpenFlow Controller.

5. A cloud-computing service company effectively leases compute servers to multiple companies. Each such customer is sometimes referred to as a "tenant". Explain why it is important for the network traffic associated with different tenants to be isolated from one another. Describe the isolation techniques and research how this is done using a cloud service provider such as Amazon. Summarise your findings.
