I will hold consults at the following times:

Please complete the CATEI feedback forms (Forms A and B) accessible via myUNSW. Your feedback is important for improving subsequent offerings of this course. Forms will remain open until Friday, 10th June.
There will be no lectures in Week 12 . I am traveling for a conference and we have almost finished most of the content for the course. We will have our final lecture on 1st June (Wednesday, Week 13) from 4-6pm in the usual room (Law Theatre G04), during which we will wrap up network security, discuss about the final exam and solve a few practice questions.
The last lab exercise is up on the webpage. As before, you will have one week to complete the exercises and submit your lab report. Have fun !!
Note that, the second experiment may not work on the VM on your personal machine. In this case, you will have to run in it in the CSE lab. As such, we recommend that you first attempt the second exercise during your lab time.
The marks for labs 3a + 3b and the first assignment are now visible. You can access them via WebCMS3 or here .
Solutions for the labs are available on the lab exercises page.

Assignment 2 Released: After much deliberation and considering the issues encountered with Mininet, the second assignment will NOT be based on Mininet. The specification has been released. Check the Assignment 2 link in the left frame.
Lab Update: We have also scrapped next week's lab (i.e. Week 10). You can use that time to work on the assignment (However, students in the Monday lab will do Lab Exercise 4 on Monday, 9th May) . There will be one last Mininet lab (Lab 5) in Week 11. Check the revised lab schedule on the Labs page.
It appears that the parking lot script hangs after n=1 for a few students. However, I have been unable to reproduce the error. Since the graphs and logs are generated automatically by the scripts, I thought that I could make then available for those students who have had issues with the script. You can use these graphs to answer the questions in the exercise.
You can download an archive of the output directory that is created by the script at the following link .
You can also download using wget as follows -
mininet@mininet-vm: wget http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs3331/16s1/Labs/parkinglot_graph.tgz
We will run two consultation sessions next week to help students resolve issues with Mininet setup and operation. Please stop by if you have had issues in getting Mininet going on your machines. Details are below.
Dates: 2nd May (Monday) & 3rd May (Tuesday)
Time: 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Location: Room 403, Level 4, CSE (K17)
The demo schedule for Assignment 1 is here . Students MUST attend in their allotted slot.
Since Monday 25th April is a public holiday, Monday labs will demo their assignment on 2nd May (Week 9). Moreover, the schedule for Monday labs will be skewed by a week. The demo will be in Week 9, Lab 4 in Week 10, Lab 5 in Week 11 and Lab 6 in Week 12.
After several requests, I have decided to extend the deadline by 1 day to 11:59pm, Saturday, 23rd April. No further extensions will be offered.
