Course guarantor:

Pavel Bezpalec, Leoš Boháč

Lecturer:

Pavel Bezpalec, Leoš Boháč

Tutor:

Pavel Bezpalec, Leoš Boháč

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The course introduces students with the fundamentals of data communication networks. The course objective is to provide broader understanding of various communication protocols used in specific types of data networks based on the layered OSI model. The course also provides students with fundamental understanding of TCP/IP protocol family as it is used in the Internet era of networking, including practical experience with the data networks in laboratory.
