This assignment consists of several tasks to assess your understanding of computer network components and models. You will explain key concepts analyse scenarios, and apply theoretical knowledge to practical solutions.

Important Information:

summary of what was learned from the assignment. Name the report “firstname_lastname_A1.pdf”.

o Secondary file submission: Save your Wireshark capture from your computer in a file named “20xxxxxx.cap”, where “20xxxxxx” is your student ID. For multiple captures, zip the files together and include one zipped file.

o Ensure that the order of submission is maintained with the PDF as the primary file submission. Any deviations will have a maximum score of 2.
