Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to the architecture and protocols of modern packet-switching networks, including topics such as IPv6, MIP, multicast, TCP and QoS architectures. Moreover, during the lab module (3 credits) the students are expected to acquire some practical knowledge about Linux TCP and the simulation of computer networks.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate her/his knowledge and understanding of the course material as well as her/his practical knowledges related to the Lab module.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Final laboratory practical demonstration

Further information:
The exam will consist of an oral examination about the theoretical part as well as the lab activities.

Work placement
The course includes a lab module (corresponding to 3 credits), with the use of PC with the Linux OS. In this framework, the students are expected to acquire some practical knowledge about Linux TCP and the simulation of computer networks using public-domain software.
