Objectives
The goal of the laboratory course is to take a practical view on communication networking.

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.	How to construct different VPN-connections
2.	A package of NAT, DHCP and DNS related assignments shows how these protocols and systems are utilised in the construction of a basic networking environment.
3.	The WLAN assignment gives the student an introduction to Wireless LAN standard (IEEE 802.11b), and its configuration. In addition, Ethereal protocol analyzer and Network Stumbler -software are utilised in this assignment.	The familiar the usage of Windows, Unix, and Ethereal are, the faster the laboratory sessions.
4.	The goal of the BGP-task is to provide a deeper idea how BGP works in practice. The material contains the usage of BGP for controlling the incoming traffic in multi-operator enviroment, Communitys, and MED. During the task, a network composed of five routers and four operators, is being configured and different traffic-controlling tests are being applied.	The contracts and operational manners between operators in practical Internet.
5.	The simulation assignments deal with the ns-2 simulator and SDT tool.

Requirements for completing the course
In each task, a student has to make an acceptable pre-report, a measurement part in the laboratory and a final report.
