To implement a small project under linux networking as an academic exercise.

Hello everyone,
I am a linux newbie and i have a little background on concepts of computer networks. I want to implement a small project as my academic task which involves networking concepts under linux. If this is a wrong place to ask, forgive me in advance. Kindly suggest some topics which can be studied and implemented in around 2 or 3 months. Thank you.

So, an idea:

let you have a small server collecting simple (and single) strings from clients.
clients will send messages one by one and they should inform the user if the text was successfully stored.

You need to take care about parallel access, stress problems and others (for example if you want to work with those messages).

Hmmm... The messages are to be stored in a server? and what kind of messages?, if you could give a scenario, would be helpful. Thank you

the type of the message is not important, you can imagine it is a logger or a voting system or a chat room, the evaluation of the data entered is not part of this project.
You can freely modify this idea to fit your needs (requirements ?), the limit is your phantasy.

The discussion is open. Am in search. Haven't done any project before, ideas are welcomed and they would be of great help.
