    8. Synopsis

    The main goal of this course is to introduce the basic paradigms, architectures and protocols of communication networks to students. The course follows a top-down approach. The students will get familiar with the basic paradigms, architectures and protocols of communication networks through the transport, network, data link, and physical layers. Topics, among others, include the main application layer protocols like DNS and HTTP, congestion control solutions, UDP and TCP protocols, routing schemes, IPv4 and IPv6, medium access, and the essentials of physical layer techniques. Laboratory experiments help students to deepen their understanding of the essential characteristics of the most important building blocks of IP-based communication networks.

     

    Students who successfully accomplish the course will understand

    • essentials of IP-based communication networks from the application to the physical layers,
    • routing techniques and protocols,
    • IPv4 and IPv6 network layer solutions,
    • congestion control paradigms,
    • UDP and TCP mechanisms and TCP session management,
    the operation of main network layer protocols like DNS, SMTP, FTP, and HTTP,

    14. hét
    Outlook: internet of things, vehicular communication


    Laboratories:
    Laboratory #1: TCP/IP protocol stack (1x4 hours)
    Wireshark (basic usage, capture filter, display filter; Ethernet, IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP headers). ARP: Request, Reply, Probe and Announcement. DHCP: Release, Ack, Discover, Offer, Request, Ack. ping and traceroute. TCP session creation and termination. TCP session count. TCP congestion control. TCP options.

    Laboratory #2: Network applications (1x4 hours)
    DNS: „A", „PTR" and „AAAA" records. SMTP: manual e-mail sending (HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA (From:, To:, Subject:, Date: and payload), QUIT), envelope sender/recipient header fields. POP3: USER, PASS, STAT, LIST, RETR, DELE, RSET, QUIT commands. FTP: client, active and passive mode, BIN vs ASCII file transfer, FTP PASV mode with telnet. HTTP: GET, 1.0 vs. 1.1. SSH and SCP: key generation, login, file transfer.

    Laboratory #3: IPv6 operation and IPv6 migration techniques (1x4 hours)
    Stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) (neighbor solicitation, router solicitation, router advertisement messages, link-local and global unicast addresses, EUI-64). DNS64: common DNS64 server setup. Linux DNS64 server configuration. Common NAT64 Gateway to reach IPv4 only servers: first with HTTP, then with FTP passive and active mode. Further application tests (SMTP, POP3). Traceroute experiments. NAT64 gateway usage on local Linux (TAYGA + IPTABLES already configured).

    10. Assessment

    Requirements

    Laboratories: mandatory to have all 3 laboratories successfully completed, only 1 laboratory can be repeated.

     

    Midterm test: successful test with at least 50%. No exam.

    Grade calculation: 66% test points, 34% laboratory points.

    11. Recaps

    Repetititon

    1 laboratory can be repeated (independently of the reason of the failure /failed entry test or failed laboratory tasks/).

    Midterm test can be repeated once during the repetition week.
