Objective : The coal is to give the student an in-depth knowledge about the network architecture. The course must also provide information about protocol design and development
Principal Content : Protocol design Application layer protocols (HTTP, FTP & SMPT) Socket programming Transport layer: TCP/UDP Network layer: IP Router/Routing Data link layer Local Area Networks
Teaching method : Presentations of theory and small exercises. 50% of the time is allocated as project and team work.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge similar to OOP3
Recommended prerequisites : -
Relations : The Networks principals in NET4 are a very important part of the interdisciplinary project on the 4. semester.
Type of examination : Oral examination based on a project
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : A number of the exercises are compulsory and must be approved in order to enter the exam. The project description is handed out at the start of the subject module. If NET4 runs parallel with the TVP4I subject module, the evaluation of NET4 is taken together with TVP4I i.e. there will only be one examination, but each student will get to marks. One for the TVP4 course and one for the NET4 course. At the examination each student is allocated 20 minutes. The examination is a group examination but the marking is individual. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the subject module. The evaluation is based on the report, the oral performance and the functionality of the project. The group presents the project by giving well-prepared presentations. The duration of the presentation is approx. 10-15 min. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the project are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span. After the presentation the supervisors and the external examiner pose questions inspired by the presentations and the report. The questions are a priori individual but may - if found relevant by the supervisors or the external examiner - form the basis of a broader group discussion. During the evaluation by the supervisors and the external examiner, the project group leaves the room. Afterwards the group is summoned and the individual marks are explained. If the student doesn’t pass the examination, the student is given guidance on how to improve the chances of passing.
