Aims

Understand principles and implementation of network algorithms in computer networks. Become familiar with design of common network devices. Learn advanced methods for classification and analysis of network traffic and error detection in computer communication.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Mid-term exam, laboratory practice and/or homework supported by project completion, and final exam are the monitored, and points earning education. Mid-term exam and laboratory practice are without correction eventuality. Final exam has two additional correction eventualities. The minimal number of points that can be obtained from the final exam is 25. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to a student.
