Objectives

During this course you will learn the basics of communications protocols: modelling concepts, state-based behaviour, layered structure of protocol stacks. Typical protocol mechanisms: error control and flow control, connection set-up, medium access control (MAC) protocols for shared medium LANs. Performance issues for flow control and MAC protocols. TCP protocol realizations like Tahoe, Reno, New Reno, SACK etc. Application Level protocols: FTP, SIP, HTTP, DNS, etc.
