TCP/IP networking
Summary
In the lectures you will learn and understand the main ideas that underlie and the way communication networks are built and run. In the labs you will exercise practical configurations.
Content
The TCP/IP architecture.
Layer 2 networking; Bridging.
The Internet protocol versions 4 and 6.
The transport layer, TCP, UDP, sockets, QUIC.
Link state routing, OSPF, Distance Vector routing. Interdomain routing, BGP.
Congestion control principles. Application to the Internet. The fairness of TCP. Tunnels and hybrid architectures.
Keywords

Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
A first programming course
Recommended courses
COM-208 Computer Networks
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Run and configure networks
- Understand the main ideas that underlie the Internet
- Write simple communicating programs
- Use communication primitives for internet and industrial applications.
Transversal skills
- Access and evaluate appropriate sources of information.
- Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
Teaching methods
Lectures.
Online quizzes.
Labs on student's computer.
Expected student activities
Participate in lectures
Participate in online quizzes
Make lab assignments (in the rule, every other week)
Assessment methods
Theory grade = final exam
Practice grade = average of labs
Final grade = mean of theory grade (50%) and practice grade (50%).
The research exercice may add a bonus of at most 0.5 points in 1-6 scale to the practice grade.
