  • 3.00 Credits

    2 cl hrs, 3 lab hrs, 3 cr Telecommunication protocols and network performance, including high-speed networks and gigabit networks, form the focus of the course. As the level of traffic on the network grows, and congestion occurs, all packet delivery is slowed. Design issues related to two types of networks are considered: Internets based on the Internet Protocol (IP) and the entire TCP/IP protocol suite, and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks. The course explores the design approaches shared by these two technologies. The course will cover high-speed network performance modeling and estimation, effects of congestion, traffic management, link control mechanisms, ATM traffic-related attributes, integrated services architecture and telecommunication protocols for Quality of Service (QoS) support. Prerequisites: MAT 1575/MA 575, TCET 3142/TC 570
  • 3.00 Credits
