Telematics
The content of this course addresses computer network concepts and techniques at each layer of the protocol stack, with a particular focus on what powers today's Internet at the network layer and above. Topics include: physical layer processing principles, basic local network standards (Ethernet, Wifi...), internetworking techniques (IPv4, IPv6, packet routing...), transport layer mechanisms (reliability, flow control, TCP, UDP...), and fundamental application layer aspects (WWW, HTTP, DNS, security...). In the end of this course, lectures will zoom on a selection of specifically hot and new topics in the domain of computer networks.
