Client-server model vs. P2P model, BOOTP and DHCP protocols, The Domain Name System (DNS), Differentiated Services (DiffServ) protocol and Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Mobile IP and mobility management in Next Generation networks, Software-Defined Networking – SDN, Network Function Virtualization – NFV, Cloud Infrastructures and Services, Multicasting and Network coding, Data transmission over power line transmission networks, Visible Light Communication Networks, Machine to machine M2M networks over internet, Green Technologies In Next-Generation Networks, Fiber Optic Internet Technologies.
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with both basic and advanced concepts of Internet protocols and architectures. In particular, basic network architectures such as client-server and peer-to-peer, as well as virtual private networks and protocols that allow for IP portability and QoS in the internet (RSVP, DiffServ), are discussed in detail.
Furthermore, through the study and analysis of the relative scientific literature, the students get introduced to advanced topics such as Software-Based Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), multicasting and network coding, data transmission over energy networks, visible light networks, as well as IoT networks and Green technologies.
Upon completion of the course, students:
- will have understood basic web protocols and architectures and
- will have achieved an introductory understanding of a number of advanced networking concepts and techniques that are currently under development.
Not required.
