Objectives and outcomes
Studying network technologies intended for large systems and corporate solutions: ATM, MPLS, xDSL,
FTTH. Basic services in broadband networks: TriplePlay, VoIP, VPN. Studying routing protocols,
multicast protocols, network management protocols. Designing company networks and access networks.
Upon completion of the course, students have a basic knowledge of the functioning of computer
networks of large systems. They are trained to select the appropriate platform, design and implement
network solutions for large systems, such as networks of large companies and Internet providers. They
independently implement basic network settings of active network equipment in accordance with project
tasks.
Lectures
The course deals with the architecture and design of Enterprise networks, as well as the design of
networks in the ISP / Telco environment: the design of access networks, backhaul networks and various
types of ISPCore networks. Methodologies of computer systems design, the concept of intelligent
information systems as well as various economic factors that affect the design and implementation of
computer networks are processed both theoretically and through various examples. In addition to IP
protocols, switching and routing protocols, the course deals with the implementation of multicast
protocols, as well as protocols used to monitor and manage computer networks. Furthermore, the course
deals with data center architecture, software-defined network architecture, cloud computing services and
technologies for virtualization and orchestration of large systems. IoT network architecture, technologies
and examples of implementation of this technology are also covered.
Practical classes
Designing computer network of large systems based on defined requirements within the ‘Case Study’ –
analysis of design, protocols and services, measurement of parameters related to the transmission of
various applications and services. Designing a converged system based on defined requirements, using
various tools. Designing service quality policies in converged networks, including protocol selection,
methodology, definition of transmission parameters. Designing a system for managing, monitoring and
solving problems in a converged network. Group and individual work.
