The goal of this course is to deepen students' understanding of advanced topics in data networks that extend beyond the foundational knowledge gained in other network-oriented courses. The structure of the course offers students ample hands-on opportunities and space for detailed individual investigation of specific issues within data networks.

1.Introduction and review of basic networking concepts.
2.Review of basic routing principles, routing table, static routing.
3.OSPF routing protocol .
4.Implementation and configuration of OSPF routing
5.Application space, transport protocols and their usage, sockets.
6.TCP and its functions, principles of congestion control in the network, AIMD, TCP congestion avoidance
7.Internet as inter-ISP network . Interconnection ISPs - transit, peering, IXP. Understanding the function of the border routing protocol (BGPv4).
8.Affecting distribution of ISP input/output data streams using BGPv4 - attributes, weight, AS path, local preference.
9.IP multicast. Source-oriented multicast distribution tree. Shared multicast tree.
10.Protocol Independent Multicast, sparse and dense mode (PIM-SM, DM)
11.MPLS network and its comparison with conventional IP routed ones.
12.MPLS label distribution protocol and its deployment in MPLS networks.
13.MPLS services. Architecture of MPLS VPN network.
14.IPv6 addressing, IPv6 routing. Cooperation between IPv4 and IPv6.

1. Multiple-Area OSPF with Stub Areas and Authentication

!! Students must possess prior fundamental knowledge of networking; therefore, this course is not suitable for beginners !!
This course assumes that students have already obtained essential foundational knowledge in computer science, particularly in networking. Students lacking this knowledge are expected to independently address these deficiencies. The final grade will comprise two components: The first component is an individual project, where students can earn up to 40 points. The second component is a final online exam, with a maximum of 60 points available.
