Course Contents:
In this class the technologies that make today`s communication networks work are introduced and discussed. First the physical layer, which is responsible for an adequate transmission across a channel, is discussed briefly. The second part deals with the error control, flow control and medium access mechanisms of the data link layer. Finally the network layer and transport layer are discussed. It comprises mainly routing and congestion control algorithms. The Internet is thoroughly studied throughout the class.
Detailed Topics are:


  • ISO-OSI and TCP/IP layer models
  • Tasks and properties of the physical layer
  • Physical layer coding techniques
  • Services and protocols of the data link layer
  • Flow control (sliding window)
  • Applications: LAN, MAN, High-Speed LAN, WAN
  • Services of the network layer
  • Routing algorithms
  • Broadcast and Multicast routing
  • Congestion Control
  • Addressing
  • Internet protocol (IP)
  • Internetworking
  • Services and protocols of the transport layer
