Educational Goals

This course initiate students into the main of telecommunication networks, including Internet. At the end of the course, the students will know how to design local area networks and how to determine the right configurations of the most common network nodes including switching and routers.

Content

This course initiates students into the world of telecommunication networks. The course is divided into three parts, two build the six credit course “Elementi di Reti di Telecomunicazioni”, one builds the three credit course “Complementi di Reti di Telecomunicazioni”.

The first part introduces the basic concepts of a telecommunication network (packet switched networks), including communication models, hierarchical/layered approaches and the main technologies.
The second part introduces provides an overview of the TCP/IP stack, including network protocols (IPv4 & IPv6), transport protocols and the main application protocols.
The third and final part focuses on routing and switching technologies for local area networks, and geographical networks.

Extended Syllabus

INTRODUCTION
What is a telecommunication network? Routing & switching. Multiplexing. Circuit switching and packet switching.
ARCHITECTURES AND COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
Layered architectures. Definitions of “protocol” and “peer entity”. Encapsulation, fragmentation, ordered delivery, protocol multiplexing, connection control, flow control. Window schemes: Stop-and-Wait, Go-Back-n, Selective-Repeat. Network performance (only with deterministic models).
MULTIPLE ACCESS CHANNELS
Taxonomy. Multiple access protocols: token passing, Aloha (pure & slotted), CSMA and CSMA/CD.
LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
EthernetV2, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5.
ROUTING & SWITCHING IN PACKET SWITCHED NETWORKS
Routing algorithms. Source-route forwarding, destination-based forwarding, label-based forwarding.
TCP/IP ARCHITECTURE
IPv4 / Network layer: header contents, addressing (classfull & classless), ARP, fragmentation, ICMP. Transport layer (UDP & TCP): header contents, port addressing, , TCP connection setup/teardown, TCP flow control.
NETWORK DEVICES
Repeater, bridge (L2 switch), router (L3 switch), gateway (proxy TCP/IP).
ADVANCED IP NETWORKS
Network Address Translation; IPv6 fundamentals.
TCP/IP APPLICATIONS
Cooperative processing models. Applications: DNS, DHCP, Telnet, FTP, TFTP, SMTP, HTTP, SNMP
ROUTING IN IP NETWORKS
Unicast Routing Protocols for LAN: RIP, OSPF. Unicast Routing Protocols inter-AS: BGP. Multicast routing. Routing MPLS.
