Network Protocol implementation

Question

As part of a project work i am supposed to "implement" any network protocol of my choice. I googled for it but didnt find anything that would help a beginner like me to start off. Could anyone please give some ideas on where to begin? Thanks in advance!

PS: am not sure of the tags either.

If you are lazy, then implement the daytime protocol of RFC 867, it is only five lines of node.js :-) More seriously, is it really any protocol? There are many network protocols, of highly different complexities. — bortzmeyer

You can try DHCP. It is relatively simple and common.

To start you can cover the same subnet/vlan case. (Server client same subnet.) Next do the different subnet/vlan case if you have time.

The Wikipedia article is OK but it would be better to warn the OP that, to implement a network protocol, you need to read the standard (here RFC 3315).
