Internet
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Alfio LOMBARDOExpected Learning Outcomes
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.
