Internet Technology and Protocols (ex Networking and Internet Protocols)

Students will be acquainted with the numerical transportation network architectures for telephony, data and their evolution, with the problems concerning the IP transportation on the network backbones and the MPLS technology, with the architectures and the protocols of the transportation of the Voice over IP, both as for the signal and as for the transportation af the sound flow, with the alternatives for the access networks and with the switched ethernet technologies for wired LAN, IEEE 802.11 for wireless LAN and the network architectures for xDSL access.
