So today I had my first meeting with my supervisor, Hervé Carpentier, regarding possible options for my degree project. My initial idea was to make a network that imitated an ISP's delivery of services to their residential customers, using technologies such as VOIP, Fibre Optic links and DSLAM. However it became apparent that the idea had no aim or purpose and was not able to prove anything, so it was thrown in the bin.
Next came the idea of a research project which included finding out which of the various Cisco protocols available to us, was better to use in their respective situations. I wasn't so sure about it as access to the lab would be dependant on whether I could find time to spend testing in the labs.
And the final idea for my project was to produce a network according to given specifications that required both building and securing using techniques and technologies available on Cisco networking equipment. This particular scenario required two people as the workload was rather big and it would be a great opportunity to experiment with network penetration testing.
The project of choice is building and securing the network. As this is very similar to what I could experience working as a Network Engineer, this would be the perfect project to showcase my skills. But since it is a two-person project, I will need a partner to assist me with my project unless it is honed down into a single person project.
