Opinions sought from those working in the relevant areas - handed this document in as part of a degree project in security visualisation & monitoring, and the feedback was that the network and monitoring station/s are not realistic, and that I should have focused on port 80 and layer 7 traffic only, as layer 4 is not relevant any longer. The link provided below is only part of the document, I presume it's the part they had issues with. I wasn't actually intending to focus on web traffic, which was made clear in the document anyway (tho I did indicate to them that with the likes of Rumints packet contents visualiser, it is certainly viable to utilise that to match up with malware signature databases - but that aspect wasn't the focus of the project).
I don't expect it says anything that people working in those areas will be unaware of, and the general intention was to address what would be required for a monitoring station / network, which includes visualisation software, that would work in real-time as well as offline analysis and traffic capture.
The grouping into 'objectives' is just part of how the work has to be presented to comply with guidelines. Cheers for input, I know you're probably busy.

nb - the last part is probably wrong about ad-hoc IPs; I can't remember exactly right now how they are handed out; they probably aren't always dynamic esp. now it's more common to get fixed-IP SIMs.
