Advanced Computer Networks
Level: Graduate
This course deals with the advanced concepts pertinent to computer networks. The course starts with a brief review of communication protocols, followed by detailed discussions on Layer 3 topics. The theoretical concepts discussed in class are demonstrated via easy-to-perform tests. For example, the discussion on SDN is followed by a quick demonstration on using GENI network. For the sake of completeness, modulation and spread spectrum techniques are discussed as lower layer topics.
