Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to design, configure and maintain a large office network, as well as analyze its performance through measurements and simulation. The course also includes a short introduction to network security and protocol design. Additionally, the course provides a survey of modern Internet technologies such as MPLS, cloud computing, distributed file systems, as well as future internet technologies such as IPv6, Internet of Things etc. During this course the student will: - understand routing protocols and their functions; - be able to study the most important architectures and mechanisms for QoS provisioning in the Internet; - learn how to provide secure communications in computer networks; - identify QoS requirements of various applications and choose protocols to support them; - will have an opportunity to design a corporate network in a lab. This course is highly recommended for the following courses: ELT-53606 Network Analysis and Dimensioning I ELT-53656 Network Analysis and Dimensioning II
