Development of analysis software for the RIP routing protocol in Python 3 " Background: Routing protocols are configured on routers and serve to exchange accessibility information in networks. The analysis of this log data provides important information about the structure and correct operation of a network. Task: The project will develop analysis software for the RIP routing protocol in Python. It should be used in version 3 Python. The software should be able to read RIP messages from PCAP files and to extract and display the contained information. The following subtasks have to be processed / solved: • Selection and evaluation of a suitable Python library for reading PCAP files (scapy, dpkt, ...). • Extraction of the routing information from the RIP data packets. • Presentation of routing information (networks, routers, metrics, etc.). Option 1: With the help of the visualization tool NetworkX, the information obtained graphically displayed. Option 2: The software should be enabled RIP to receive messages over the network. To do this, a socket on the multicast address [login to view URL] must be able to receive and decode incoming packets.
