This course is meant for students who want to learn more about computer networking. The introductory course, IERG3310, covers the basic principles of network technology, the protocol stack and network programming. This course covers additional topics related to the operation and management of the Internet; and also on new and future networking technologies. One of the major topics is Internet routing and traffic engineering, considering the Internet operational model of transit ISPs and local ISPs and their peering agreements. Examples of new technology and protocols include various multimedia applications such as streaming, VoIP, IPTV. Examples for future networks include support for mobility and convergence of different types of networks.

Homework and Hands-on Exercises | Cover material that takes longer time to work out | 25% |
This course does not use a single textbook. Instead, several textbooks are recommended as references:
For routing protocols, the main reference book is
[1]. Interconnections: Second Edition by Radia Perlman.
[2]. The All-New Switch Book by Rich Seifert and Jim Edwards, John Wiley
[3]. John Moy, OSPF: Anatomy of an Internet Routing Protocol, Admission Wesley, 1998
We also refer students to read
BGP4 by Stewart III.
Other parts of the course, we rely on lecture notes. We refer students to IETF RFCs for specific protocols.
In addition, reference material will be posted on the Reference Material page of this website.
Students are welcome to express their comments and suggestions via the following formal and informal feedback channels:
