I ported a software test tool used for verifying Bonjour compliance from 32 to 64 bits. I also made significant enhancements to the tool so that it worked on WiFi networks more reliably. The project was a good introduction to the world of the I E T F (https://www.ietf.org/) and RFC’s. This is the standards group that developed the basics of the modern internet, and continues to curate the standards for the Internet.
Tools & Tech: WireShark, PCAP, XCode, DNS, Zero Configuration Networking
