Computer Networks

The objective of the course is to analyze the technologies, models, functioning principles, and main protocols at the basis of computer networks. The main application protocols, and related services, of the IP network and some techniques of distributed programming will be also analyzed.

At the end of the course, the student shall learn technologies, models, functioning principles, and the main protocols (including application protocols) at the basis of computer networks. Moreover, though laboratory activities, the student shall acquire the ability to manage and configure an IP network, on one side, and the ability to develop the client and server of a distributed application, on the other side.
