- Course objectives
- The main goal of this lecture is to provide basic understanding for functions and construction of computer networks, with special emphasis on protocols and architecture of networks, forming contemporary Internet. Focus is more on general principles than actual technologies currently used.
- Syllabus
- Architecture of Computer Networks, models and network examples. Internet as a network of networks. Network applications and their requirements, network services, distributed filesystems (NFS, AFS), directory services (X.500, LDAP), quality of services.
- OSI model, connected and connectionless networks, local (LAN) and wide area (WAN) networks. Internet protocols IPv4 and IPv6, transport levels (TCP).
- Routing and switching, routing algorithms, RIP, OSPF, BGP. Autonomous systems.
- Multicast, basic forwarding algorithms. Anycast.
- Transport media, data transport (multiplexing, switching, error management), media access, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Token Ring, FDDI, wireless technologies (IEEE 802.11).
- SONET/SDH, ISDN, ATM, quality of services.
- Fundamentals of theory of information, coding and optimization, band width, Shannon's theorem.
