Using a network simulation package to teach the client-server model

Abstract

The client-server model is fast becoming the most common form of network architecture used in data communications. It's popularity can be seen in the phenomenal expansion of the World Wide Web. It is essential that students understand the client-server model, and that they learn how to design client-server networks and to analyze their performance. This paper describes a project to achieve this via problem solving sessions using simulation to facilitate understanding of the design and performance analysis of networks using a client-server architecture. Students will be able to gain experience designing client-server networks and testing their designs for efficiency and expandability.

Microsoft Teams desktop application forensic investigations utilizing IndexedDB storage

“…One of the most frequently used web service models in computer networks is the client and server model. It constitutes a large portion of the services provided in world wide web including website hosting, and application data storage [16]. In client-server architectures, data can be stored on both server and client sides.…”

“…Even though legacy client-side storage technologies have been present in web browsers for twenty-five years [24], their structure has undergone a major change with the introduction of persistent storage. As was pointed out in the literature review section, the coverage of these technologies in academic work is less than ideal.…”

Experience on “Networking I” course using simulation software and real devices for practices

“…Network concepts and fundaments are difficult to assimilate. That is because of the complexity of the involved processes that are not always visible [1], [2], [3] and [4]. Specific equipment required to stand up a network laboratory are very expensive.…”
