DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the basic principles of the higher layers of communications networks: the transport layer and the application layer. Since the deployment of networks today is done in the context of Internet, this course will emphasize on the importance of end to end design, and the desirability of introducing other architectural elements beyond the traditional client-server. The course requires the underlying levels (physical, link and network), and the important concepts introduced in them, to present the contributions in the higher levels in terms of congestion control, flow control, reliability of the communication, etc.. In addition, real applications and services will be used to comprehensively demonstrate the incorporations of requirements into the design of protocols. To achieve this objective, the student must acquire certain knowledge, and exercise some abilities.
