| Course objective : | At the end of the course students will understand well the principles of computer networks, their layered architectures (OSI model), the fundamental mechanisms governing the protocols in various layers, and some examples of existing protocols. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge of computer architectures and operating systems. |
|
| Workshops : | Problem solutions lessons, same schedule as main lessons. |
|
| Organization : | Second term (from February to May), Fridays from 9AM to 1PM |
|
| Written notes : | Reference book: James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross. Computer Networking - A Top-Down Approach (Fourth Edition). Addison-Wesley, 2008 (ISBN 0-321-49770-8)

|
| Assessment : | The evaluation is twofold: a written exam on exercises, and an oral exam on the theory. At the oral exam the student has to expose clearly and in a synthetical way one part of the course, and prove his/her in-depth understanding by answering questions. |
