碩士 === 中原大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 97 === In this thesis, we developed a suite of experiments based on NCTUns simulator. It is suitable for fundamental level computer networking course in computer engineering curriculum. This tool can be used for classroom teaching and laboratory experiments to help students grasp the fundamental computer networking concepts. We have designed several experiments and simulations for various functionality and applications from Data Link layer to Application layer, such as routing protocol, TCP three-way handshake, and BitTorrent application. The network simulations use NCTUns network simulator and Wireshark protocol analyzer. By using these tools, the learning process can be more practical and effective. Student to gain more solid understanding of fundamental concepts in computer networking.
