The aim of this course is to:

- Introduce advanced concepts in computer networks in general and the TCP/IP in particular

- Provide technical features on computer networks as detailed implementation

- Emphasize the wireless networking aspect and network management

A student will be able to:

+ explain the design and operation of Advanced Computer Networks, various wireless systems, principles of IP network security Protocols

+ configure device parameters on a testbed, depending on data communication and TCP/IP protocols, LAN switching, routing, WAN connection

+ design a complex network based on some technical requirement

+ identify the design issues in transport services in face of applications and services requirements, current QoS architectures, and mechanisms

+ discuss relevant management issues and adequate network management solutions, tasks performed as part of network management
