Course description and aims
To explain that the Internet is not a specific application but an information/communication infrastructure and the end to end argument, the fundamental architectural principle of the Internet, with specific protocols at transport and application layers. It is expected that participants can design network protocols with the end to end argument in mind.
Student learning outcomes
To understand the end to end argument, the principle of the Internet and be able to explain it with specific examples, and to be able to identify some protocol violating the end to end argument and its harmful consequences.
Keywords
End to end argument, Internet, Architecture, Layering, Catenet Model
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Lecture on each topic with questions and comments from the participants The participants are required to ask a question or make a comment on the lecture at least twice during a term of the course.
