Course Aims • Study topics: data communication and computer networks • After completion of this course, the student should be able to • distinguish network services, related protocols and layers • understand constraints in the existing solutions • build and configure a working network and have an understanding of computer configuration and routing issues in networks • Through course assignments students will be trained in • solving network-related problems/ implementing simple network protocols • building up a small network from scratch • Some advice: to be able to put things in perspective: • come to classes; try to ask questions; • study on-line (don't wait until last weeks); • do the labs in time (don't wait until last weeks); • Keep in mind: practice makes perfect: practice on exercises, questions, use the companion site of book meant for student-resources; experiment with protocols following the hints in the book.
