Learning Outcomes

Competences
The students understand the concepts of (also large) networks. They can analyze, design, and build small/local networks.

Skills	Knowledge
Students can: Recognize, evaluate and design network topologies (K6) Select the appropriate physical technology for a network/connection (K5) Set up and configure a local network (K3) Enable communication in a local network using static routing (K3) Connect a local network to the Internet using NAT (in both directions) (K5) Identify problems in local networks (K4) and previde correction/improvement suggestions (K5) Select the appropriate communication protocol for an application (K5) Analyse network protocols through packet captures (K4)	General principles of networks and network protocols; topologies Layer models (especially TCP/IP and ISO/OSI) Multiplexing, datagram networks, network quality criteria Physical layer: copper/fiber optic cables, encoding, structured cabling Data link layer: framing, error detection/correction, reliability (Acks, pipelining...) Network Layer: Routing, static vs. Dynamic Routing, basics of routing protocols Ethernet, IPv4 (Fragmentation, MTU, ARP, UDP, TCP, QUIC, Multicasts), IPv6 (ND), NAPT Overview of DNS and DHCP
