The students will understand the fundamental concepts of communication networks, with a focus on computer networking. They will learn to identify relevant mechanisms that are used in networks, and will see a reasonable set of examples implementing such mechanisms, both as seen from an abstract perspective and with hands-on, practical experience.
Objective
The students will understand the fundamental concepts of communication networks, with a focus on computer networking. They will learn to identify relevant mechanisms that are used to networks work, and will see a reasonable set of examples implementing such mechanisms, both as seen from an abstract perspective and with hands-on, practical experience.
Lecture notes
Lecture notes and material for the course will be available before each course on: http://comm-net.ethz.ch/
Prerequisites / Notice
Prerequisites: A layered model of communication systems (represented by the OSI Reference Model) has previously been introduced.
