The course Communication Networks II covers the principles and practice of computer networking and
telecommunications with emphasis on the Internet. Starting with the transport layer, the course provides
a detailed discussion of upper layer principles and protocols. In addition to well known protocols, recent
developments in the area of multimedia communication (e.g. Quality of Service, Peer-to-Peer networking,
IP-Telephony), will be examined thoroughly. The course is designed as follow-up to Communication Networks I.
The main topics covered are:
* Introduction
* Transport Layer (Addressing, Connections, Flow Control, QoS)
* Transport Protocols (UDP, TCP, Ports)
* Application Layer (Function, Sessions, Data Representation, RPC, Corba, Web Services)
* Application Layer Protocols (FTP, Telnet, NFS, AFS, DNS, ..)
* Electronic Mail (Basics and Principles, SMTP, POP3, ..)
* World Wide Web (History, HTTP, HTML)
* Peer-to-Peer Principles and Applications (File Sharing, Processing Sharing, Problems)
