  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give knowledge about internetworking technologies, focusing on the Internet. Source coding for packet networks and hardware of the Internet are emphasized. 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.
  • 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.
  • Describe basic principles of the hardware of networks.
