Final Project Ideas

2. Topics
QUIC
NDN
MPTCP
CUBIC
SDN
ECE 671

3. General
If applicable you might design and test your experiment on mininet before running them on GENI
You have to submit a final report in IEEE two-column style format:
Describes your project
Presents results from your experiment (evaluation)
Submit all material required to allow us to reproduce your experiments!
ECE 671

4. QUIC Create a GENI slice Install QUIC server
Install QUIC client. E.g., Chrome
Run QUIC sessions in parallel of competing TCP traffic (created by e.g., Iperf) and analyze performance
QUIC Client
QUIC Server R1 R2
Iperf Client
Iperf Server
ECE 671

5. Named Data Networking
Create a GENI slice consisting of at least two nodes
Use this slice to set up NDN ( communication by installing NFD (
Install an application ( on top of NFD and analyze its performance.
Verify IP-free NDN communication between end systems
ECE 671

6. MultiPath TCP Set up a GENI slice
Install MultiPath TCP ( on both server and client
Compare performance of Multipath TCP compared to standard TCP R1 R1
Client
Server R2
ECE 671

7. TCP CUBIC Use a GENI slice that consists of at least two nodes
Compare performance of CUBIC in comparison with other TCP flavors
Server (QUIC)
Client R1 R2
Server (other)
Client
ECE 671

8. SDN-based Firewall Create a GENI slice Build an SDN-based firewall
Firewall functionality is enforced by controller
Initially firewall should be completely closed for connections from outside
Connections from inside should open firewall for corresponding traffic from outside
Private Network
Public Network
Client
Server
Firewall

9. Administrative Projects are due by 5/7 at 5PM.
Submit ALL material that allows us to asses your project. E.g., rspecs, code, measurement results.
Also submit a short (no more than 5 pages) description, including final results of the analysis you performed.
