Network Protocol Project

Implement protocols for the three layers:

• Datalink layer: Implement a protocol that handles dropped (lost) packets. Then set the appropriate packet loss probability in the GUI to test.

• Transport layer: Implement a proper connection set-up in the transport layer. Also handle packet ordering and packet loss (even if it duplicates what happens in the datalink layer). Is it better to put loss-recovery functionality in the transport layer than the datalink layer?

• Network layer: Implement a simple routing protocol wherein each node sends link-status info to node 0. Then, node 0 runs Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm to compute routes. Then, node 0 sends routing tables to all other nodes.

• STTP. STTP is a ridiculously simple hypertext protocol that is partly implemented in the default browser. Add hyperlinks to this protocol.
