Data networks

Lecturer:

Pavel Bezpalec (gar.)

Tutor:

Pavel Bezpalec (gar.), Jakub Doležal, Ján Kučerák

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The course introduces students to the basics of communication in a variety of data networks. The aim of the course is to provide a more comprehensive view of communication protocol for specific types most commonly used data networks according to the RM-layer OSI model. The course also allows students to look into ways of communicating with TCP/IP in the Internet, including the possibility of a practical realization of the data network in laboratory conditions using real equipment.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Basic concepts, methods of communication, layered models, networks topologies

4.Local data networks, Ethernet, access methods

5.The design of Ethernet LAN, virtual LANs(VLAN and STP)

6.The structure of IP datagram and its functions, auxiliary protocols (ARP, RARP and ICMP)

7.Addresses on the network division into classes, address translation

8.Routing protocols in data networks (RIP, OSPF and BGPv4)
