Course Objectives		To provide an integrated view of the first three layers of computer networks. • To teach the importance and the principles of (Virtual) Circuit Switching • To show the effect of reliable data transfer on the performance of computer networks • To teach basic medium access control protocols and techniques. • To teach the principles of local area network protocols. • To introduce protocols and techniques supporting quality of service.
Course Description		Widespread use of optical fiber to transmit data, new techniques employed in wireless networks have made tremendous increase in network bandwidth possible. Moreover, increase in CPU power allowed us to deploy faster devices (routers, switches,..) in networks. As a result, services containing digital audio and video can be supported. All this transformation has caused new communication protocols to be developed. This course focuses on these new communication protocols and techniques. Special attention will be paid to the issues related to QoS. Classification of traffic, traffic management and shaping will be studied. Queue management techniques, especially active queue management, will be examined. Switching, MPLS, multicasting, WiMax and necessary protocols will be covered also. Last two-three weeks (depending on the number of students taking the course) are reserved for the papers presented by the students.
