| Course objective : | At the end of the course students will understand well the principles of computer networks, their layered architectures (OSI and TCP/IP models), 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 : | Small-scale programming assignment in Java on web services. Groups of three students. |
|
| 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 (Fifth Edition), Addison-Wesley, 2010. Also published by Pearson (ISBN 978-0-13-136548-3)
