Teaching methods include lectures and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

Up to 30 points from laboratories (points are obtained from individual tasks and individual project).
Up to 70 points from written examination.

1. Knowledge widening of the well-known network model TCP/IP. Network and transport layer.
2. Task of network layer with IP protocol.
3. Address Translation in IP networks (ARP, DHCP).
4. Address Translation in IP networks (NAT, DNS, mDNS, LLMNR).
5. Protocols for redundant access to default gateway.
6. Multicast data transfer.
7. IPv6 protocol suite (features, deployment, datagram, addresses).
8. IPv6 protocol suite (ICMPv6 responsibilities, DHCPv6, mobility, multicast, routing).
9. Autonomous systems, BGP protocol, multihoming, peering.
10. Distributed systems.
11. Processes and systems (design, description, parallel problems).
12. Processes and systems (synchronization, communication, data exchange, design of protocol).

The goal of the course is to provide to students the compact orientation in field of advanced communication techniques, especially on network layer and application layer, in distributed systems and further with specific issues such as a parallel data processing.

Attendance on laboratories is compulsory, properly excused laboratories can be filled after talking to the lecturer.
