Computer Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of FPGA Packet Header Parser

This Computer Engineering final year project investigates extracting a bounded packet header format at a predictable rate, linking hardware behaviour and software assumptions through an explicitly bounded prototype or simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes extracting a bounded packet header format at a predictable rate a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring field accuracy, malformed rejection and throughput helps a student compare design alternatives and explain how resource constraints affect the proposed implementation.

How do the selected hardware or embedded-software choices affect field accuracy, malformed rejection and throughput when extracting a bounded packet header format at a predictable rate?

Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow extracting a bounded packet header format at a predictable rate with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for extracting a bounded packet header format at a predictable rate.
  2. 02Implement a documented teaching packet format, simulate valid and malformed inputs and compare parsed fields with a software reference.
  3. 03Measure field accuracy, malformed rejection and throughput and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.

A suggested research approach

Implement a documented teaching packet format, simulate valid and malformed inputs and compare parsed fields with a software reference. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate field accuracy, malformed rejection and throughput using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.

What you will need

  • HDL simulator
  • Synthetic packet corpus
  • Reference parser

Keep your project scope clear

The parser is not a complete network security device and must not inspect unauthorised traffic. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
