KurzbeschreibungThis introductory course on computer networking takes a top-down view from networked applications all through the physical layer.
LernzielStudents will get a comprehensive overview of the key protocols and the architecture of the Internet, as one example of more general principles in network design. Students will also acquire hands-on experience in programming different aspects of a computer networks. Apart from the state-of-the-art in networking practice, students will explore the rationale for the design choices that networks in the past have made, and where applicable, why these choices may no longer be ideal.
SkriptThe slides for each lecture will be made available through the course Web page, along with additional reference material.

Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThe bonus projects use C programming. ETH courses in the Bachelor track before this course already cover this. For other students, e.g., exchange, please take note of this requirement: you can still take the course and get a good (even 6/6) grade, but if you don't fulfill this prerequisite, you are disadvantaged compared to others who can get the bonus points.

KurzbeschreibungThis course will discuss recent advances in networking, with a focus on the Internet, with topics ranging from the algorithmic design of applications like video streaming to the likely near-future of satellite-based networking.
LernzielThe goals of the course are to build on basic undergraduate-level networking, and provide an understanding of the tradeoffs and existing technology in the design of large, complex networked systems, together with concrete experience of the challenges through a series of lab exercises.
InhaltThe focus of the course is on principles, architectures, protocols, and applications used in modern networked systems. Example topics include:

- How video streaming services like Netflix work, and research on improving their performance.
- How Web browsing could be made faster
- How the Internet's protocols are improving
- Exciting developments in satellite-based networking (ala SpaceX)
- The role of data centers in powering Internet services

A series of programming assignments will form a substantial part of the course grade.

LiteraturNo textbook is required, but there will be regularly assigned readings from research literature, liked to the course Web site: https://ndal.ethz.ch/courses/fi.html.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesAn undergraduate class covering the basics of networking, such as Internet routing and TCP. At ETH, Computer Networks (252-0064-00L) and Communication Networks (227-0120-00L) suffice. Similar courses from other universities are acceptable too.
