| 252-0064-00L | Computer Networks  | 7 credits | 4V + 2U | A. Perrig, A. Singla | |
| Abstract | This introductory course on computer networking takes a top-down view from networked applications all through the physical layer. | ||||
| Objective | Students 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. | ||||
| Lecture notes | The slides for each lecture will be made available through the course Web page, along with additional reference material. | ||||
| Literature | Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross. Pearson; 7th edition (May 6, 2016) | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The course includes 2-4 graded programming assignments, which together will enable students to obtain a bonus of up to 15% of the final grade. | ||||
| 252-0817-00L | Distributed Systems Laboratory In the Master Programme max. 10 credits can be accounted by Labs on top of the Interfocus Courses. Additional Labs will be listed on the Addendum. | 10 credits | 9P | G. Alonso, T. Hoefler, F. Mattern, T. Roscoe, A. Singla, R. Wattenhofer, C. Zhang | |
| Abstract | This course involves the participation in a substantial development and/or evaluation project involving distributed systems technology. There are projects available in a wide range of areas: from web services to ubiquitous computing including as well wireless networks, ad-hoc networks, and distributed application on mobile phones. | ||||
| Objective | Students acquire practical knowledge about technologies from the area of distributed systems. | ||||
| Content | This course involves the participation in a substantial development and/or evaluation project involving distributed systems technology. There are projects available in a wide range of areas: from web services to ubiquitous computing including as well wireless networks, ad-hoc networks, and distributed application on mobile phones. The objecte of the project is for the students to gain hands-on-experience with real products and the latest technology in distributed systems. There is no lecture associated to the course. For information of the course or projects available, please contact Prof. Mattern, Prof. Wattenhofer, Prof. Roscoe or Prof. G. Alonso. | ||||
| 263-3501-00L | Advanced Computer Networks | 5 credits | 2V + 2U | A. Singla, P. M. Stüdi | |
| Abstract | This course covers a set of advanced topics in computer networks. The focus is on principles, architectures, and protocols used in modern networked systems, such as the Internet and data center networks. | ||||
| Objective | The 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. | ||||
| Content | The focus of the course is on principles, architectures, and protocols used in modern networked systems. Topics include data center network topologies, software defined networking, network function virtualization, flow control and congestion control in data centers, end-point optimizations, and server virtualization. | ||||
