Five exercises that consist of a preliminary report, a guided laboratory session and a post-lab report. At least 3 out of 5 labs must be completed. |
Learning Outcomes
By carrying out practical assignments, the student gains skills that help him/her apply the theoretical knowledge of computer networking into the problems that arise in the real world. Additionally, course gives experience in group work on computer networking. The course is complementary to ELT-53108 Computer Networking II.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | The goal of the VPN assignment is to provide basic operation of the IPSEC: the exchange of keys and encryption of the transmission. | Network security | IPsec |
| 2. | The goal of the BGP-task is to provide a deeper idea how exterior gateway protocols work in practice. The material contains the usage of BGP for controlling the incoming traffic in multi-operator environment. During the task, a network composed of five routers and four operators, is being configured and different traffic-controlling tests are being applied. | BGP | |
| 3. | Use-cases and configuration of MPLS domain in a lab environment are practiced. | ||
| 4. | Quality of service assurance, DiffServ support and queuing disciplines are studied. RED algorithm is dimensioned and configured in routers. | Statistics, basics of queuing theory | |
| 5. | Cloud and distributed storage topics are considered - networked file systems, redundancy and fault-tolerant storage. | Software systems, file systems. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
The assessments of laboratory courses are based on achieving the goals of the assignments in the laboratory, and on the quality of pre-lab and post-lab reports. Each completed lab gives 1 CP, and the grade is determined by the quality of submitted reports.
