Content Data Communications Networking

This book focuses on the evolution towards multimedia. Principles of the Internet (data/computer world) and of ATM (the telephony/B-ISDN world) are high-lights. Although the emphasis lies on the explanation of the network concepts, also current developments are touched upon in order to give an idea of the rapid evolutions in the area of telecommunication. The performance analysis of systems and networks for telecommunication is taught in the dual course Performance Analysis (IN4-341).

  12. Quality of Service Routing
  13. Peer-to-peer networks
The learning objective of the course 'Advances on Networking' is twofold. First, the student should be able to explain each of the network functionalities or network concepts and should have a clear grasp of the differences (e.g. between routing and signaling). Each of the network concept can be regarded as a building block to construct the networking as a whole. The second objective is to learn how these different network concepts interact both in a connnectionless architecture (as IP) and in a connection oriented (as ATM). In that study, a large number of protocols appear. The student is expected to know what the important protocols stand for and what they are intended for.
