A number of different proposals have been made to improve Ethernet, notably SEATTLE \cite{seattle-1} and MOOSE \cite{moose1}. Since the number of hosts will need to be very large in order to demonstrate the issues associated with Ethernet, and they will be arranged in a number of different topologies, the most suitable mechanism in order perform this evaluation is under simulation, where the topology of the network can easily be altered. diff --git a/proforma.tex b/proforma.tex index ebb11f2..5fcd520 100644 --- a/proforma.tex +++ b/proforma.tex @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ -\chapter*{Proforma} +\chapter*{\large{Proforma}} -{\large +{ \begin{tabular}{ll} Name: & \bf Richard Whitehouse \\ College: & \bf Homerton College \\ @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ Supervisor: & Malcolm Scott \\ \section*{Original Aims of the Project} -To write a implementation of MOOSE for a modern network simulator which functions correctly with respect to the protocol, in that it rewrites packets, and performs correctly in a network of other simulated MOOSE and Ethernet switches.
