- Course objectives
- The main goal of this lecture is to give insight to principles of new generation of Internet protocols at one side and to show how originally network services are becoming part of higher, application oriented layers. Networks are presented as a basic cosntruction bricks of (large) distributed systems. These form the focus of the next part of the lecture, where their function, design and implementation is discussed. Brief introduction into mobile computing closes the lecture.
