Data Networks - BE2B32DAT
| Credits | 4 |
| Semesters | Both |
| Completion | Assessment + Examination |
| Language of teaching | English |
| Extent of teaching | 2P + 2L |
Annotation
The course introduces students with the fundamentals of data communication networks. The course objective is to provide broader understanding of various communication protocols used in specific types of data networks based on the layered OSI model. The course also provides students with fundamental understanding of TCP/IP protocol family as it is used in the Internet era of networking, including practical experience with the data networks in laboratory.
Study targets
The students will acquire broader understanding of communication networks and protocols to be help them better select their future study of more in-depth focused subjects in the field of networking.
