Learning Objectives

Ability to design a telematic system

Learn about the Internetworking mechanisms, the architecture and the suite of TCP / IP protocols.

 

Know how to configure the basic functionality of a router / switch

Understand today's communication paradigms to manage QoS in the next generation Internet

 

The student will need to acquire the ability to communicate rationally his knowledge on the subjects covered by the course, mastering the specialized vocabulary in the field.

 

Ability to read the industry's standard and scientific literature related to Internet technologies.


Course Structure

The course consists of lectures and exercises held in the CDLM laboratory at the Engineering Technological Pole in via Santa Sofia

In case of COVID emergency, lectures will be provided through an appropriate computer platform.
The final exam could be eventually done remotely in case of COVID contingency.
