Aim:
The aim of the course is to give knowledge about internetworking technologies, focusing on the Internet. After completing the course, the student is expected to be able to:
- Explain how an internet works, which different components are included and why they are included.
- Give an account of how Internet works on protocol level, what protocols are used, and what functionality these protocols contribute with.
- Understand optical fiber communication, both from a components view and its application in the core and access networks of Internet.
- Choose/design an appropriate protocol for a new application considering the requirements and usage of the application.
- Describe basic principles of source and channel coding for packet networks, Internet service provider pricing, special networks for clouds and Internet-of-things.
