- Course objectives
- The main goal of this course is to provide a deeper insight into the area of computer networks (behind the level of basic bachelor courses)
and to provide a complex survey of crucial protocols in computer networks (routing, IPv6, quality of service, etc.).
Graduate will learn the basic principles in the area of mobile networks, he or she will obtain an idea about their specific features from the perspective of computer networks.
Graduate will be also able to prepare and lead simple courses targeted in particular areas of computer networks and their applications. - Learning outcomes
- Graduate will be able to analyze the behavior of even complex computer networks and propose their topology as well as solutions to particular problems.
Graduate will also know the features and benefits of the IPv6 network protocol and become able to design and implement an IPv6 network.
Graduate will obtain a survey of mechanisms used for ensuring the quality of service in computer networks.
Graduate will be able to discover bottlenecks in communication systems and will be able to propose their removal/elimination.
Graduate will learn the basic principles in the area of mobile networks, he or she will obtain an idea about their specific features from the perspective of computer networks. - Syllabus
