6.896 Topics in Computer Networks: Term Projects (Fall 1998)

Professor Hari Balakrishnan

During the course of the Fall 1998, students in 6.896 undertook forays into networking research. This page documents their efforts.  There were 17 projects in all.

Here is the schedule for conference-style final project presentations, which will be in NE43-516 (LCS) on Wednesday, 12/9/98 and Thursday, 12/10/98.  All are invited; refreshments will be served!
