6.829 Term Project

A major component of 6.829 is a term project that incorporates some networking research. You can either pick from our suggested list and build on it, or come up with your own ideas and run them by us.

First read these project logistics. Next, check out the list of suggested projects and FFTP project description. You will need to get an MIT certificate to read these files. Please do not place a copy of the suggestions list anywhere else on the Web. Thanks!

The suggestions list mentions that one of the projects (fast file transfer) is outlined in more detail.

You might find the projects done in previous years useful. Also, check out the FAQ.
