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-VPS.21 Selected Topics in Computer Networking Extent of teaching: 14KP+4KC
Instructor: Bettaz M. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18104 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
The course builds upon the Computer Networks course (BI-PSI), obligatory for the program. Students will learn in detail principles, protocols, and technologies used in modern computer networks from local area networks up to Internet, with focus on switching, routing, security, and virtualization. The emphasis will be on gaining practical experience with real network devices in the lab and learning important methods of local area and wide area networks from the viewpoint of functionality, performance, and security.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Principles of construction for virtual local area networks (VLANs)
2. Bridging and Spanning Tree Protocols.
3. Advanced routing: from static to using more than one routing table instances.
4. Interior dynamic routing protocols, OSPF.
5. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT).
6. Exterior dynamic routing, BGP.
7. Technologies for increasing the throughput of computer networks, MPLS
8. Multicast traffic: principles, routing, protocols IGMP and PIM-SM.
9. Security policies, traffic monitoring in computer networks.
10. Quality of Services, firewalls, traffic shaping.
11. Multilayer network architectures.
12. Introduction to Software Defined Networks (SDNs).

Seminar syllabus:
1. Introduction to Cisco devices and lab.
2. Switching, CAM, VLANs, trunking, PV-STP.
3. Static IP addressing on routers, IVR, FHRP.
4. Management VLAN, SSH.
5. Dynamic routing (EIGRP / OSPF) in one area.
6. ACL firewall.
7. NAT and PAT.
8. Multiarea routing, route redistribution.
9. Introduction to GNS3.
10. BGP.
11. Security policy, RACL, CBAC, NBAR, Control Plane.
12. Control Plane Policy, Zone-Based Firewall.
