TCOM 512 - Application and Transport Protocols

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): TCOM 370 (prerequisite) or TCOM 500 (can be corequisite), and sufficient programming knowledge to edit, write, and debug programs in C, and basic undergraduate mathematical background including elementary probability. This course covers the design, analysis, and implementation of application- and transport-level protocols. We teach basic techniques of framing, error recovery, reliable delivery, flow control, adaptation to congestion, presentation (and representation) of data, authentication and security, as applied to conversational, transactional, and dissemination- oriented transport and application level protocols. In addition to hands-on experience designing and implementing network protocols in C using the BSD socket interface, we also teach elementary modeling (through both simulation and analytic models) and measurement of network protocols.
