| Abstract | This introductory course on computer networking covers essential network technologies from every layer of the networking stack, ranging from networked applications over transport protocols and routing paradigms all through the physical layer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Students will get a comprehensive overview of the key protocols and the architecture of the Internet, as one example of more general principles in network design. Students will also acquire hands-on experience in programming different aspects of a computer networks. Apart from the state-of-the-art in networking practice, students will explore the rationale for the design choices that networks in the past have made, and where applicable, why these choices may no longer be ideal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
