Assessment 1:

Introduction
You will submit work in tutorial activities during the study period. This is an individual assessment. The following are laboratory activities that you are to perform and submit.

Tutorial Exercise 1: Wireshark
In this lab, we'll investigate the behavior of a NAT router. This lab will be different from our other Wireshark labs, where we've captured a trace file at a single Wireshark measurement point. Because we're interested in capturing packets at both the input and output sides of the NAT device, we'll need to capture packets at two locations. Also, because many students don't have easy access to a NAT device or to two computers on which to take Wireshark measurements, this isn't a lab that is easily done "live" by a student. So, in this lab, you'll use Wireshark trace files that we've captured for you. This should be a relatively short and easy lab since the concepts behind NAT aren't difficult, but it'll be good nonetheless to observe NAT in action. Before beginning this lab, you'll probably want to review the material on NAT in section 4.3.3 in the text1.

Tutorial Exercise 2: Cisco Packet Tracer

Assessment 2:

Introduction
You will submit work in assignment activities during the study period. This is an individual assessment.

In this assessment you are required to prepare a 1000-1500 words abstract in IEEE Style. To prepare the abstract you need to select an article published in 2020 and later. The selected article needs to include networking and communication. The article needs to be on one of the areas given below.
Networking
Communications
5G cellular systems
Ad hoc wireless networks
Internet of Things (IoT)
Wireless Networks
AI Powered Networks and Communications
Wireless LAN
Computation and Data Driven Wireless Communications
Heterogeneous cellular networks
Next generation WiFi and LiFi
The report must follow the marking guide. Please note that citation of sources is mandatory and must be in the IEEE style.

Assessment 3:

Introduction
This is a Group assessment comprised of 3~5 Students. All group members must have to present their part in the demonstration/presentation.

Part A (Detailed Design): In this group assignment, you will assess the given case study to design a multi-level subnetting and provide a subnetted IP design plan. You must create a network topology using a network simulator (Cisco Packet Tracer) with the necessary labels and write a report on the design rationale. Each group must submit a report with the IP design plan, network topology screenshot and network design rationales.

Part B (Detailed Topology, Configuration and Demonstration): Using the network simulator (Cisco Packet Tracer), your group should configure the network designed for Part A. Each group must submit a report containing configuration commands and their descriptions and present the network demonstration.

Task
The report must follow the marking guide. Please note that citation of sources is mandatory and must be in the IEEE style.
