252-0817-00L | Distributed Systems Laboratory In the Master Programme max. 10 credits can be accounted by Labs on top of the Interfocus Courses. Additional Labs will be listed on the Addendum. | 10 credits | 9P | G. Alonso, F. Mattern, T. Roscoe, A. Singla, R. Wattenhofer, C. Zhang | |
Abstract | This course involves the participation in a substantial development and/or evaluation project involving distributed systems technology. There are projects available in a wide range of areas: from web services to ubiquitous computing including as well wireless networks, ad-hoc networks, and distributed application on mobile phones. | ||||
Objective | Students acquire practical knowledge about technologies from the area of distributed systems. | ||||
Content | This course involves the participation in a substantial development and/or evaluation project involving distributed systems technology. There are projects available in a wide range of areas: from web services to ubiquitous computing including as well wireless networks, ad-hoc networks, and distributed application on mobile phones. The objecte of the project is for the students to gain hands-on-experience with real products and the latest technology in distributed systems. There is no lecture associated to the course. For information of the course or projects available, please contact Prof. Mattern, Prof. Wattenhofer, Prof. Roscoe or Prof. G. Alonso. | ||||
263-3830-00L | Software Defined Networking: The Data Centre Perspective | 2 credits | 2S | T. Roscoe | |
Abstract | Software Defined Networks (SDN) is a change supported not only by research but also industry and redifens how traditional network management and configuration is been done. | ||||
Objective | Through review and discussion of literature on an exciting new trend in networking, the students get the opportunity to get familiar with one of the most promising new developments in data centre connectivity, while at the same time they can develop soft skills related to the evaluation and presentation of professional content. | ||||
Content | Software Defined Networks (SDN) is a change supported not only by research but also industry and redifens how traditional network management and configuration is been done. Although much has been already investigated and there are already functional SDN-enabled switches there are many open questions ahead of the adoption of SDN inside and outside the data centre (traditional or cloud-based). With a series of seminars we will reflect on the challenges, adoption strategies and future trends of SDN to create an understanding how SDN is affecting the network operators' industry. | ||||
Literature | The seminar is based on recent publications by academia and industry. Links to the publications are placed on the Seminar page and can be downloaded from any location with access to the ETH campus network. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | The seminar bases on active and interactive participation of the students. | ||||
851-0740-00L | Internet Architecture & Policy Number of participants limited to 20 | 3 credits | 2S | S. Bechtold, T. Roscoe | |
Abstract | This course examines and critiques the design of the Internet, with a focus on the connection between the engineering features and principles of the network and the legal, economic, and political concerns which have followed its evolution. | ||||
Objective | This course examines and critiques the design of the Internet (broadly defined), with a focus on the connection between the engineering features and principles of the network (packet switching, global addressing, the end-to-end argument, etc.) and the legal, economic, and political concerns which have followed its evolution (security properties, censorship and censorship resistance, "net neutrality", etc.). No prior knowledge of networking technologies is required; conversely the course will focus only on those features of the Internet design which have strong political and legal implications (and vice versa). The course consists of two parts: lectures and seminars in one part provide an introduction and discussion of the technical, legal, and political aspects of the Internet design. The other part consists of a specific case study of some aspect of the Internet by individual students. | ||||
860-0018-00L | Internet Architecture & Policy (with Case Study) | 6 credits | 4S | S. Bechtold, T. Roscoe | |
