Academic preconditions:
The topics from DM506 Computer Architecture and DM510 Operating Systems assumed known.

Course introduction
The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to problems, concepts and techniques in computer networks, local area as well as wide area networks.

Expected learning outcome
After the course the student is supposed to be able to:

* document and implement a multi-layer protocol hierarchy, realizing a reliable data transmission with routing over an arbitrary network.
* design and implement an efficient protocol, eliminating errors in an underlying network which can loose, delay and duplicate data packages, such that data is delivered to the receiver in the same order as transmitted by the sender.
* design and implement a reliable protocol for establishing and closing a connection oriented communication over a network of nodes.
* design and implement a TCP-like protocol allowing the exchange of data units, e.g., files, over the network.
* design and implement a reliable and efficient communication between protocol layers.

Subject overview
Topics are: Transmission forms, network topologies, routing, load- and error control and security. The emphasis is on the protocols, applied by hardware as well as software for realizing the communication, for realizing the above mentioned aspect. The course will in particular cover those solutions used on the internet as well as those used locally, i.e., the TCP/IP protocols.
