Study Objective:

The aim is to familiarize students with the principles, architectures, and technologies of modern communication and interconnection networks, computer network administration, and usage of important Internet applications. The module focusses on the issues of network design, optimal selection or setting of parameters for achieving maximum performance with respect to quantitative and qualitative requirements on data transfers. Attention is paid to the problems of real-time data transfers (multimedia communication, VoIP).
