Since I have heared tens of lectures in Haifux, I propose to give a<br>lecture on the only thing I can think will interest the audience:<br>An explanation of how Ethernet networks work by giving examples using<br>etherheal (today wireshark) which is an open source sniffer.<br>
I can show the bits in the header of every packet and how they help to<br>bring the Internet to work. What I will talk about (if at all) depends on<br>feedback I get to this mail.<br>-- possible items --<br>A basic network demonstration, from the point of view of the network,<br>
not from a specific host,<br>with demonstrations using etherheal (today wireshark)<br>1. What is an ip packet ? and what is not (e.g. ARP)<br>2. Difference between tcp and udp. What is icmp,igmp.<br>3. Terms like MTU,TTL .<br>
4. Examples of many different problems with actual examples from<br> a working environment such as a university campus.<br>5. What happens if MTU is wrong.<br>6. How does traceroute work.<br>7. What is a SYN attack.<br>
8. What is the difference between a switch and a router.<br>9. What is the routing table in a computer, (a host) and what is the<br> routing table in a router. and a few words about routing protocols.<br>------<br>Nir.<br>
