Objectives Students know the areas of application and algorithmic principles of selected protocols, which are required for operating and managing computer networks. They understand fundamental relations and cooperation/interaction of these protocols. Students have practical experience in installing and configuring network devices. This provides a good knowledge base so that students can efficiently become acquainted with new special problems in the network area.

These topics are presented as an overview. A selected set is discussed in greater detail and is also practiced in the hands-on labs.
Criteria for evaluation Grading is based on class participation in lab exercises, written summaries and the final written examination. To pass the course, students must successfully pass all three sections.
Methods Practical examples in the network lab complement and extend the lectures and accompanied discussions.
