A growing trend is the use of to automatically test networking solutions. Some professors now require students to submit their socket programming assignments to a GitHub Classroom assignment. The auto-grader runs a series of tests (e.g., does the server respond to 1,000 concurrent requests?). While you cannot see the professor’s test suite, you can see community-built test suites in open-source repos.
Find (like the Network Layer or Security).
Use GitHub to check if your reasoning matches the solution, especially for complex delay calculations or subnetting problems.
