Formelle forudsætninger:Unfortunately, the course is cancelled. Interested students are recommended to follow the course "Introduction to Databases" or the T0 course at EBUSS.

Prior to taking the course, the student should be able to:
  • use the Internet to send e-mails and find information on the World Wide Web

  • understand and write small programs in Java, C or C++

  • understand the binary and hexadecimal number systems and binary arithmetic
These skills may be acquired by taking the course Introduction to Programming - Concepts and Tools / Introductory Programming (Grundlæggende Programmering).

Some general mathematical background (such as A level high school mathematics) is an advantage.
 
Læringsmål:The goal of this course is to explain the fundamental concepts of computer networking. The principles will be illustrated by a detailed description of the Internet: both its physical components (hosts, routers, switches, etc.) and its protocols (the message formats and communication procedures).

After completing this course, the students will understand how applications interact with different parts of the Internet Protocol to ensure the proper delivery of the messages from the source to the destination. They will be able to explain and apply the most important networking concepts such as reliable data communication, handshaking, congestion control, routing, multiple access, and so on. In addition, they will have a basic knowledge about network security, wireless network architectures and network management.

 
Fagligt indhold:The lectures will be organized around the following topics:
  • a historical overview of networking and the Internet
  • the concept of protocol and the layered architecture of the network protocols
  • the application layer; essential Internet applications, such as WWW, e-mail, ftp, and Telnet
  • the transport layer; reliable data communication, the TCP and UDP protocols;
    flow control and congestion control
  • the network layer; the Internet Protocol, addressing and routing
  • link and physical layers; error detection and correction, multiple access protocols
  • link layer protocols; the Ethernet and the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN architecture
  • network security; problems and solutions, crytography, authentication
  • network administration and management
 
Læringsaktiviteter:12 forelæsninger og 12 øvelsesgange

NB! In the introductory week, meaning from 29 August to 2 September 2005, the course will run from 16:00 to 18:30, where the first lecture will take place. This means, that there will be no exercises in the introductory week

Normally, the course will have:
lectures from 13:30 to 16:00
exercises from 16:00 to 18:30

Depending on the number of students, the teacher is allowed to separate the students in two groups for exercises. One group will then do exercises in the evening (from 16:00 - 18:30) and one group can do exercises before the lectures.
