Abstract
The goal of the exercise si to give students enrolled to the PB156 Computer Networks course an opportunity to get direct hands-on experience with network protocols and their use.
Learning outcomes
The primary output follows those of PB156, but extending the presentations with direct use of the presented materials. The graduates will get practical experience with building simply networks, analysis the traffic, understanding most of the protocols presented in lectures through actually building them and-or following them over the built network.
Key topics
  • Introduction to the course. First layer of the network model: Analysis of network traffic and protocols. Practical work with cabling, cable testing, traffic analysis using Wireshark and Python.
  • Second layer of the network model: Basics of network device configuration and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration.
  • Third layer of the network model: Principles of addressing and routing. Hands-on configuration on Linux nodes.
  • Higher-layer topic.
  • Application layer: Application protocols, plaintext communication, various levels of protocol standardization.
  • Network security and certificates.
Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching
Hands-on laboratories, with eventual homework assignments, including the preparation of reports.
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
Participation in exercises is mandatory. One formally justified absence recorded by the Study Department and one unexcused absence are permitted. Students are required to prepare a report for each group exercise. Completed reports and/or successful completion of the exercise assignments are a prerequisite for obtaining course credit.
Language of instruction
Czech
