Description
Computer
Networks is a graduate level course that has the goal of teaching
students current and important results from networking research. The
course assumes you have taken an undergraduate introduction to TCP/IP
networking. The course will then address two fundamental areas of
computer networking: performance, and protocols & algorithms. Within
those broad categories, we will discuss a cross section of topics that
are of interest to networking researchers including topics such as
peer-to-peer networking, queuing theory, routing, quality of service.
You will be reading a number of classic and current papers on these
subjects; my lectures, the text, and supporting materials will help
provide the background and overview of the topics covered by these
papers. This course will provide you with the opportunity to develop
skills necessary to conduct academic research in the field of computer
networks.
