Course description

Main page | Study Branches/Specializations | Groups of Courses | All Courses | Roles Instructions

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.

BIK-PSI Computer Networks Extent of teaching: 13KP+4KC

Instructor: Completion: Z,ZK

Department: 18104 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
Students understand the basic common techniques, protocols, technologies, and algorithms necessary to communicate in computer networks. The topics are primarily focused on the 2nd to 4th layer of the ISO OSI model. They also get a basic understanding of communication media, security, and network administration. Students will be able to write a simple network application and configure a simple network.

Lecture syllabus:

1. Course requirements and organization. History of computer networks. OSI model. Physical layer. Metallic and optic media ? properties, usage, connecting.

2. Link layer: Acknowledging, link layer protocols. Access methods. Network layer. Routing.

3. Interconnecting the networks: hubs, bridges, routers. Transport layer protocols. TCP/IP v4.

4. IPv6: properties, addressing, security, mobility. Flow control, QoS.

5. Directory services: DNS, X.500. Security: principles, symmetric and asymmetric ciphers, digital signature.

6. Network security: rules, firewalls, NAT, ssh, ssl, ipsec, vpn. Special networks: FibreChannel, NAS, SAN.

7. Network administration: SNMP, CMIP, RMON, network monitoring applications. Network configuration ? overview. Conclusion of the course.

Seminar syllabus:

1. Communication in a TCP/IP network. Addressing, address translation, configuration. Communication in a TCP/IP network. BSD socket programming interface. Protocols ? theoretical models, communicating automata, Petri nets. Efficiency of link-level protocols. Assignment 1. File transfer using TCP.

2. Assignment 2. File transfer using UDP. Router configuration ? Linux. Router configuration ? Cisco. Assessment.
