| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Computer and communication have merged with each other. This has had a profound influence on the way computer systems are organized. The concept of computer center is now totally obsolete. The model of a single computer serving all of the organization's computational works has been replaced by Grid Computing or Cloud Computing, in which a large number of separate but interconnected computers work together. These systems are called computer networks. This course offers fundamental knowledge about the design and organization of computer networks. We start with a review of computer network software's layered structure. Then we will discuss one or more typical protocols in each layer. After a lecture, you will have time to complete a Java program that is an implementation of the protocols you have just leaned. Your program will run on a network simulator which can check your program, show you a graphical demonstration of communication or communicate your implementation to help you to completely understand the protocol. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
Our students will learn the following in detail: (1) Layered architecture of computer network software; (2) Basic concepts such as packet, frame, addressing, routing, congestion control, QoS, error control, and flow control; (3) Basic protocols in each layer. |
