Requirements

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

Learning outcomes

By carrying out practical assignments of larger size the student gains skills that help him/her apply the theoretical knowledge of computer networking into the problems that arise in the real world.

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.
