/Internetteknik/

For:   CS   D   DAV   IT   SY   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 38
Rec. self-study hours: 122

  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. 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 coding for packet networks, Internet service provider pricing, Internet robustness, clouds, fairness-efficiency tradeoffs, distributed algorithms, and Internet ad-space sales dynamics.
  • Perform standard calculations regarding internetworking.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic knowledge in computer science

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Supplementary courses:
Computer Security, Digital Communication, Image and Audio Coding, Radio Communication, and various network courses.
Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, problem-solving classes and home assignments.

Course contents:
Introduction, the TCP/IP model, distributed algorithms, the network layer (IPv4 IPv6, routers, switches, DHCP, mobility in LTE, virtual circuits), the transport layer (UDP, TCP), Internet robustness, Internet service provider pricing, Internet ad-space sales dynamics, clouds (Clos networks, DNS, multicasting, peer-2-peer, Skype NAT traversal), fairness-efficiency tradeoffs, source coding for packet networks (synchronization, error concealment, interleaving, multiple description coding, layered coding, lessons learned while working with Skype)
