-Link for Perry and Aubrey'​s ​project.+Aubrey Barnard and Perry Kivolowitz 
 + 
 +Our aim is 1) to write an extensible framework for measuring network performance over multiple adapters ​and 2) to develop techniques to analyze the captured data to suggest changes to how the adapters are being used. 
 + 
 +===== Project Log ===== 
 + 
 +==== 03/03 ==== 
 + 
 +Meeting to address ​project ​feasibility,​ delegate tasks, discuss designAB will work on mining metrics from literature. PK will work on developing client. To meet again on Thursday. 
 + 
 +==== 03/04 ==== 
 + 
 +AB - Learned about TCP so I can figure out some ways to measure it. 
 + 
 +PK - Got enumeration of adapters running along with capture on selected adapters. Simple GUI to enable / disable adapter capture. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== 03/05 ==== 
 + 
 +Met briefly - discussed evolving approach. Will meet again on 03/06. 
 + 
 +PK - Learned how to create dynamically loaded plug-in interface so that metrics / tests can be self-standing modules. 
 + 
 +==== 03/06 ==== 
 + 
 +Met briefly - discussed metrics as known so far. Will meet again Monday. 
 + 
 +PK - Wrote a DNSQuery plug-in using low level socket programming so that the query can be sent over non-default interfaces. Plug-in works over default interface (confirmed with WireShark) - have to add another NIC to my computer to test the non-default case.  
 + 
 +==== 03/07 ==== 
 + 
 +PK - Added second adapter to desktop. Confirmed plugins are working over alternate adapters. Wrote PING plugin using low level socket interface. This is working nicely. Started traffic driver UI. 
 + 
 +==== 03/08 ==== 
 + 
 +AB - Considered reorganizing web pages. Learned to upload files, but held uploading proposal until after reorg. due to possible linking/​versioning problems. Researched network metrics from Google search results. Started finding papers from Sigmetrics and related conferences (IMC, MobiCom). 
 + 
 +Notes: 
 +  * Measure bit error rates (physical and link layers should be able to report) 
 +  * Get capacity of links 
 +  * Measure achievable bandwidth by saturation
