Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students are able to configurate network connection. They have an overview of basic network services adn are able to administrate DNS, DHCP, mail services etc. They can program network applications using BSD sockets. They can read standards and use them to program application. They know standard tools for network administration and are able to use them.

Prerequisites
