Projects
Project 1
- Implement either the SDM or MDM algorithm by Chou et al. in QualNet.
- Compare the performance of SDM/MDM with that of the shortest path tree SPT algorithm (i.e., double path routing vs single path routing). The SPT code implemented in QualNet will be given for comparison.

Project 2
- Implement a simple core-based tree (SCBT) protocol in QualNet. The SCBT protocol is similar to PIM-DM but we use SPT, not DVMRP, to build a tree rooted at the core.
- Compare the performance of SCBT with that of the SPT algorithm (i.e., core-based trees vs source-based trees). The SPT code implemented in QualNet will be given for comparison.

Grading Scheme
- Design of experiments
- Written proposal - 10% (graded based on technical contents and presentation) due Nov. 9
- Oral presentation - 5%
- Experimental results - 10%
- Final report
- Written report - 15% (graded based on technical contents and presentation)

Notes:
- All the above submissions and presentations are individual work.
- Students may work in team or individually to implement the protocols in QualNet though.
