- use elementary terms from ICT area, e.g. operating system, memory, process,
- describe architecture of basic network models, i.e. TCP/IP and ISO/OSI,
- describe basic application protocols for user data transfer from TCP/IP suite,
- list routing protocols used on local-area level.

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. Widening the knowledge 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).
9. IPv6 protocol suite (multicast, routing, examples).
10. Autonomous systems, BGP protocol, multihoming, peering.
11. Distributed systems.
12. Design of systems, its description, design of communication protocols.

Not applicable.

The goal of the course is to provide students with comprehensive orientation in the field of advanced communication techniques, especially on the network layer and application layer, in distributed systems, and also with specific issues such as design and specification of communication protocols.

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