Description
This thesis aims to support a larger project which compares different Internet architectures and their censorship resilience. As part of this BA, a virtualized and representative BGP/IP testbed should be implemented. The project involves networking (BGP routing, IP routing, Docker networking, etc.) and a bit of graph theory.
