Data Networks

The course is a substitute for:

Data Networks (X32DAS)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The subject deals with current technologies that are used in data communication networks. The main consideration is devoted to that networks and technologies being used in WAN. The subject also allows students for a better understanding of function of networks such as X.25, ATM and Frame relay. The key functional principles of label switching network technology MPLS used in WAN will be explained together with its general version - GMPLS and their relation to mobile networks. Because of increase of demands for a voice transmission through a data networks the necessary space is also devoted to the problems of H.323 and SIP protocols. The part of subject is also a functional analysis and application of WAP protocols in mobile networks.
