Course content
The course focuses on computer networking and communication technologies as a continuation of TTM4200 Computer Networks. The covered topics include Internet architecture, network routing and management as well as aspects of the wired local area networks, wireless access and cellular networks. Practical assignments give hands-on experience by deploying, managing and using services and protocols widely used in the Internet (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, HTTP, OSPF, OpenFlow among others).
Learning outcome
A. Knowledge: Students will get an understanding of concepts and principles behind the Internet as a system. They will refresh their knowledge about network architectures and become familiar with multicasting, intra- and interdomain routing (OSPF and BGP), network management, access principles of the link layer and get a basic knowledge of wireless networks - WiFi and 4G and 5G cellular networks.
B. Skills: Students will be able to communicate, reason and creatively think about various networking concepts and protocols. They will be able to use basic networking tools, protocols and services required to manage a computer network.
C. General competence: Students will be able to use the acquired knowledge and skills for responsibly applying basic communication and computer networking principles, both independently and in teams.
The course teaches the fundamental knowledge, skills and competences behind digital communications and the Internet. For that reason, it indirectly contributes to all UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where digital solutions can benefit from ubiquitous access to a communication platform. In particular, it has an impact on SDG 4 "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning for all", SDG 9 "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation", and SDG 11 "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".
Learning methods and activities
The course is taught through lectures combined with team-based learning and theoretical and practical assignments. Throughout the semester, students receive feedback on their level of preparation through tests done during class time. Students apply the knowledge in realistic scenarios through practical assignments.
Further on evaluation
Three assessments provide the basis for the final grade in the course, theoretical assignments, practical assignments and a written final exam that count for 30, 30 and 40% of the final grade, respectively. All three parts must be passed in order to pass the course. The results for each of the parts are given with a letter grade.
The assignments and the exam are given in English only. The exam can be answered in English or in Norwegian.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam. If a student also after the re-sit exam has the final grade F/failed, the student must repeat the entire course, that is all three assessments. Also, in the case a student wants to try to improve their grade, they must repeat all three assessments.
