Introduction

This course is the natural extension of the Computer Networks course and covers state of the art networking architectures that have recently been developed by IETF to handle Quality of Service on the Internet. Using these architectures it will be possible on the Internet to handle traffic generated by multimedia applications (voice, video, data).

The main focus is on IntServ, DiffServ, MPLS, VPN, UMTS and on scheduling algorithms that can guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) on the Internet. There will also be some work on discrete events simulation and network calculus.

Recommended reading

Books and articles will be suggested during the course itself. The program for 2005/2006 can be found here.

Organization of lessons

Theoretical lessons will alternate with tests, but the order will not be established beforehand. Tests will generally take place at the end of the theoretical part. Lessons will start punctually and there will be a 15 minute break between the first and second hours. The lecturer/professor holding the course will be available during the break between the two hours, and on Thursday mornings from 11.30 to 13.30 in his room at the department (Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione: Elettronica, Informatica e Telecomunicazioni - Sezione Informatica, via Diotisalvi, 2).

You can find the lesson plan calendar here (PDF - in Italian).

Organization of exams

The exam consists in the development of a project, which normally concerns assessing the performance of a protocol. There is then an oral exam.

We advise students to follow all the lessons and to take the exam before the end of the relevant semester.
