High-Speed Broadband Networks
Level: Graduate
This is a postgraduate course that discusses high-speed networking concepts. It starts with the discussion on switched networks and introduces the concept of high throughput and low delay communication. This course focuses on analyzing (and reducing) queuing delay, addressing delay and handover delay that are almost inevitable in all packet-switched networks. The course is divided into three sections. The first section is mostly conceptual that uses Queuing theory and Markov models for analysis. The second section discusses relevant networks (LTE, IPN, ATM) and protocols (MPLS, Mobile IP and its variations) that focus on high speed communication. The course outline is as follows.
