Course Objectives

This module invites students to explore the networking, routing, transport and application protocols that are used in the Internet. The module encourages students to understand the key architectural issues in the design, development and implementation of Internet protocols using lectures, seminars and tutorials. Protocol specifications and standards such as IPv6 as necessary evolution of IPv4, IntServ and DiffServ to manage the quality of service (QoS), IPsec to ensure security, etc. will be examined and the use of techniques such as MPLS to improve the performance of forwarding, and protocols such as Mobile IP to manage mobility, and RTP/RSTP for Video transmission will also be investigated. Finally, in the light of the knowledge gained on internetworking protocols, we present some IP-based applications, such as VoIP and 6LoWPAN.

Course Content

The routing IP in Internet
IP version 6
IP and mobility: Mobile IP
The DNS (Domain Name System)
The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Quality of Service in InternetIP switching and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Security in Internet
IP network management and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Some IP-based applications: - Voice over IP (VoIP) - Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) - Sensor Networks (IPv6 -6lowPAN)

Learning Outcomes (Dublin Descriptors)

On successful completion of this course, the student should

1. Demonstrate the knowledge of the essential features and operation of Internet Protocols; 2) Understand the principle and operation of a set of protocols in the TCP/IP suite

Protocols

1. Analyze a range of network protocols; 2) Design a protocol with a finite state structure to meet pre-specified requirements
1. Analyze and evaluate performance of complex networks; 2) Implement or analyze new networking applications
