1. Course Name: Special Topics on Computer Networks (計算機網路特論)
2. Time: Wednesday, 18:10-21:00.
3. Classroom: TC-208 (ext. 94334492)
4. Required Software: PuTTY, Vim, Wireshark, VirtualBox.
5. Overview: This course will explore technologies inside the boxes that move data round the Internet. These boxes are variously called bridges, routers, switches, and hubs. Instead of diving right into the details of one protocol, this course focuses on the problems to be solved. To each of these problems, various solutions will be examined and we shall discuss the engineering trade-offs involved. We shall also look at a variety of solutions that have been deployed and compared these approaches. When we design new protocols, we should learn from previous ideas, both good and bad. This course hopes to help you capture the wisdon about how to design a protocol.
