Assignment Title Design and Implementation of Client Server computing system
Assignment submission format
Each student has to submit their assignment as guided in the assignment brief. The students
are guided what sort of information is to produce to meet the criteria targeted. You are
required to make use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work
must be supported with research and referenced using the APA referencing system.
Learning outcomes covered
 LO1. Explore the concepts of servers, clients, and processes and the differences
between PPID and PID.
 LO2. Analyze the communication processes between clients and servers in different
application protocols with records captured from the internet.
 LO3. Create a client/server model in a Linux system with User Datagram Protocol
(UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Application Layer protocols.
Purpose of this assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to enable learners to understand concepts of servers, clients
and processes, and client-server computing concepts, how they work, how they operate, and the
protocols, standards, and models associated with client-server technology.
Scenario
Nepal IT solution, established under the Company Act 2053 as a public limited company on
2063/02/22). Nepal IT solution is the foremost IT service provider company established by
private investors. The promoters of the company are a group of well-known IT experts,
businessmen, and business houses of Nepal. Within the 12 years of operation, the Company has
set up an excellent business record and has a strong financial position.
To meet the growing customer needs and market demands, the company expanded its system and
network infrastructure to provide services like email service, Internet service, Domain
registration, Web hosting, and Network Management and Monitoring service, Company wants to
upgrade the system by improving IT skills of their staffs by training.
Nepal IT solution has hired you as a junior System Administrator to design and implement most
suitable system architecture solution for their business. Your major responsibilities are to plan,
manage, design, implement and optimize the system and network that fulfill the company's
current needs. Major tasks are as below:
 Explore the concepts of servers, clients, and processes and the differences between PPID
and PID.
 Analyse the communication processes between clients and servers in different application
protocols with records captured from the internet.
 Examining the different application layer protocols used in client-server computing
captured with Wireshark.
 Create the client and server model in a Linux system with UDP/TCP and any application
layer protocol.
 Attach the presentation slides that you have prepared.
 Submit the report.
The company has asked you to produce a final report of your design and implementation that
demonstrates your understanding of the principle of Client-Server computing.
Assignment Task
With reference to the scenario, prepare a report which:
PART 1
Produce Technical report which illustrate the communication processes between

servers and clients and compare parent process and child process PID and PPID.
Further to the above task you are required to recognize parent process and child process
in a communication record (such as the records obtained by Wire Shark) between servers
and clients and design a model composed of parent process and child process to realize a
simple function. It is recommended that you design a realistic model to realize a
function in real life using an Application Layer protocol.
Yu are required to examine the concepts and functions of several Application Layer
Protocols and operate wire shark software and recognize the different windows in the
wire shark interface.
Illustrate the communication processes of Application Layer protocols based on the

client/server system.
Analyze communication records captured from the internet based on Application

Layer protocols.
PART 2
Create a client/server model in a Linux system with User Datagram Protocol (UDP),
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Application Layer protocols.
Build a system with DNS and illustrate it by a flowchart and do implement the created
DNS system in Linux.
You may implement the system with some advanced functions such as breakpoint
resume.
