Task Instruction In SIT202, you learn the fundamentals of computer networking. However, computer network is a vast topic, and it rapidly grows in every single day. Having a good understanding of basics of computer networks, now you are ready to explore the pinnacles and trenches of the world of computer networks. For this task, you are required to prepare a research report on three of the emerging and evolving topics of computer networks. These three topics are, - Software Define Networking (SDN) - Internet of Things (IoT) - Network Security The report is open-ended and flexible. You are required to do research on the above mentioned three topics introducing the technologies that enable those trends, detailing how they are related to computer networks (what you have learnt so far), and including your thoughts and reflections on these topics. You can also use a range of diagrams, graphs, and tables in your report to illustrate the impact of these technologies on the future computer networking. You could use the following questions (but not limited to), as a guide to prepare the report for each topic. Please note that some questions are only relevant for a subset of topics. SIT202-Secure Networking - What is the topic (provide an introduction)? How this technology/topic differ from the existing mechanisms in the computer networks? Why has this topic become popular recently/ what is the motivation behind it? What are the key technologies/ concept (hardware, software, architecture, different types of attacks, etc.) involved in this topic? - What are the applications? How does this trend change the computer networking landscape? What are the changes required for the current networking paradigm to support the trend? What are the benefits this technology brings into computer networks and end users (consumers)? What are the drawbacks of the trend? Do you think your friends and family are interested in this topic? How can you make them aware of these new technologies in computer networking? Task Instruction In SIT202, you learn the fundamentals of computer networking.
