A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

BI-PSI.21 Computer Networks Extent of teaching: 2P+1R+1C
Instructor: Černý V., Fesl J. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18104 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
The course introduces students to the principles of computer networking. It covers basic technologies, protocols, and services commonly used in local networks and in the Internet as well. The lectures will be amended by proseminars that introduce students into network programming and demonstrate the abilities of advanced network technologies. Students practically verify configurations and management of network devices in the lab within the environment of the operating systems Linux and Cisco IOS.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Intoduction to computer networks, OSI model, TCP/IP stack, IP addresses and segmentation.
2. Data-link layer and its protocols.
3. Ethernet technology, virtual local networks (VLANs) introduction.
4. Network layer and Internet protocol version 4.
5. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
6. Routing in computer networks, routing tables and algorithms.
7. Transport layer, protocols TCP and UDP.
8. Directory services, domain services (DNS), hierarchy, domain administration and security.
9. Computer networks security, firewalls, honeypots, intrusion detection and prevention systems.
10. Virtual private networks (VPNs). Anonymity in the Internet.
11. Application layer and its protocols.
12. Wireless computer networks.
13. Internet architecture. Optical networks.

Seminar syllabus:
1. Computer networks basics, IPv4 addressing, TCP/IP, DNS, network traffic.
2. Protocol IPv4, routers, static routing, routing tables.
