SOFE 4890U – Advanced Computer Networks

Advanced topics in computer networks with a particular emphasis on application-level protocols, transport protocols, network protocols and routing protocols used throughout the Internet. The course strengthens the student’s understanding of fundamental concepts, requirements, and design trade-offs, particularly as related to scheduling, congestion control, advanced routing protocols, traffic management, wireless access and mobility, and applications. More importantly, the course discusses how networking may evolve in the future to provide ubiquitous support for quality-of-service (QoS) in heterogeneous environments.
