Course Title:
Broadband Communications Networks
Course Description:
Covers the basic principles and fundamental design issues relevant to broadband communication networks and exposes students to current research problems. Broadband networks are designed to support a variety of services and applications. Topics range from SONET and ATM switching to high-speed network control. Other topics include characterization of network traffic and its implications on network design; traffic management, flow control, and congestion control including call admissions control, scheduling, and policing; quality of service-based routing; and multicast routing. Networking technologies reflect current research areas and implementations. Focuses on high-speed wide-area-networking (WAN) technologies including frame relay (FR), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and next-generation Internet architecture. Includes lectures, readings from relevant literature, and student presentations.
