PA - C4B - INF566 : From Fundamentals to Reality: How The Internet Really Works — And How To Make It Better

Domaine > Informatique.

Descriptif

Armed with the fundamentals and theory behind modern networking technology, this courses plunges into the reality of how the Internet really works, and how it came to be the resilient, yet in many ways quite fragile, world-wide system it is today.

While billions of people take the Internet for granted today, the system is still at its infancy and is subject to rapid and significant change. One of the interesting, and perhaps surprising, characteristics of the Internet is, that we as individual engineers still can make a difference: by examining what works and what doesn't, and understanding the science and art of what truly makes for a successful protocol, the Internet remains a ripe field of innovation.

In this course we will come face to face with the reality of what is and is not "broken" on the Internet today, how to examine the success or failure of an Internet protocol of their choice, and examine the economic and technical aspects of the patchwork of protocols and systems that make up the most complex distributed system mankind has ever created.

This course assumes an understanding of computer networking fundamentals, a critical and analytical mind, and a lot of curiosity. Each lesson will consist of a lecture, followed by 2h of lab (TD). This course is calibrated so that a student should expect to spend 1-2h/week outside of class, reviewing material and/or preparing for activities in class in the following week.

Requirements: 

A good dose of curiosity is required.

As we will be studying some advanced topics in computer networking, INF557 "From the Internet to the IoT: The Fundamentals Of Modern Computer Networking" is also required

 

Evaluation mechanism:

This course will be evaluated by way of (i) a traditional exam, and (ii) group projects and presentations.

 

Language:

English
