| TDTS41 | Computer Networks, 3,5 p (sw) /Datornät/ Advancement level: C | |
| Aim: The course presents hardware- and software aspects of computer networks. It also gives knowledge about basic techniques for datacommunication, as well as an understanding of the mechanisms necessary for communication between systems. The course gives an overview of existing computer networks, products and trends. Prerequisites: Knowledge in operating systems equivalent to TDDB12 or TDDB63.. Course organization: The theory is presented at the lectures. Laboratory assignments are used as a complement to the theory and consists of an experimental implementation of a protocol for data communication.Course content: Application areas for computer networks. Basic concepts such as protocol, services, circuit switching, packaging, datagrams, virtual circuits. Network architectures, layering, the OSI-RM, the Internet, standardisation. Datacommunication: sampling, encoding, synchronous/asynchronous datatransfer. Protocols: "stop-and-wait", "sliding window", HDLC, PPP, protocol specification. Local area networks: the MAC-layer, LLC, Ethernet, Token Ring. High-speed networks: FDDI, 100Base-TX, gigabit-Ethernet etc. Wide area networks: the telephone system, commercial services. Congestion and flow control. Internetworking, routing protocols, OSPF, EGP, BGP. Naming services: DNS. Transport protocols, TCP, UDP. Application layer protocols, network security, file transfer, e-mail, WWW, etc. ATM. IPv6. Network management, SNMP. Course literature: Course book: announced later (see the course home page). Laboratory material is distributed electronically. | ||
