Data networks

Lecturer:

Pavel Bezpalec (gar.)

Tutor:

Pavel Bezpalec (gar.), Petr Jareš, 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.
