Theme: Cloud Computing & Data Infrastructures
Advanced Data Networks
(6 ECTS - 36h)
Objective
The purpose of the lecture is to give you more knowledge and skills in the domain of computer networking. Both theoretical and practical knowledge will be acquired.
Targeted Skills and Pre-requisites
The lecture is a follow-up of the basic computer networking course and provides a more detailed view on routing protocols, congestion control, and Quality of Service. Lab exercises and manipulations will provide some practical knowledge of advanced protocols.
Students should have taken the basic computer networking course.
- Routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP)
- Congestion control
- Quality of service
- MPLS
- SNMP
- Case study Next Generation Data Center Architecture
